Helper T cells are a type of immune cell that coordinate the body's response to infections. They identify infected cells or harmful invaders and then activate other immune cells, such as B cells to produce antibodies, and cytotoxic T cells to kill infected cells. Helper T cells act as messengers, ensuring the immune system responds efficiently, targeting specific threats. They are essential for immune regulation and help prevent infections from spreading, playing a crucial role in defending the body against diseases.
