T Cell Types: Helper and Cytotoxic
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Helper T cells coordinate the adaptive response by signaling B cells and other immune cells; cytotoxic T cells directly destroy infected or abnormal cells they recognize.
Show
Helper T cell signaling boosts both B cell antibody output and cytotoxic T cell activity.
Watch for
Helper T cells coordinate but do not destroy infected cells themselves — that role belongs to cytotoxic T cells.
