T-dependent antigens can stimulate B cells to become activated but require _________ assistance.
A
Interleukin.
B
Cytokine.
C
Interferon.
D
Antibody.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of T-dependent antigens: T-dependent antigens require the help of T-helper cells to activate B cells.
Recognize the function of B cells: B cells are responsible for producing antibodies, but they need signals from T-helper cells to become fully activated.
Identify the role of cytokines: Cytokines are signaling molecules that facilitate communication between cells, especially in the immune response.
Consider the involvement of T-helper cells: T-helper cells release cytokines to assist in the activation of B cells when they encounter T-dependent antigens.
Conclude that cytokine assistance is necessary: The activation of B cells by T-dependent antigens requires cytokine assistance from T-helper cells to initiate a proper immune response.
