What is the role of helper T cells in the immune response?

Step 1: Understand that helper T cells are a type of white blood cell in the immune system.
Step 2: Know that their main job is to help other immune cells work better.
Step 3: Helper T cells recognize foreign invaders, like viruses or bacteria, in the body.
Step 4: Once they recognize these invaders, they send signals to B cells.
Step 5: The signals from helper T cells tell B cells to produce antibodies.
Step 6: Antibodies are proteins that help to neutralize or destroy the invaders.
Step 7: Helper T cells also activate cytotoxic T cells, which are another type of immune cell.
Step 8: Cytotoxic T cells can directly kill infected cells in the body.
