Question
__________ are the most abundant T cells, and their function is to __________.ANSWERT helper cells (CD4+); activate B cells to stimulate the humoral branch of adaptive immunityT cytotoxic cells (CD8+); directly destroy cells that are virus-infectedT helper cells (CD4+); coordinate the adaptive immune responseT cytotoxic cells (CD8+); seek and destroy cancer cells
Solution
T helper cells (CD4+) are the most abundant T cells, and their function is to coordinate the adaptive immune response. They also activate B cells to stimulate the humoral branch of adaptive immunity. On the other hand, T cytotoxic cells (CD8+) directly destroy cells that are virus-infected and also seek and destroy cancer cells.
