Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several types of cytokines used in cell signaling; interferons, interleukins, tumor necrotic factor, and chemokines. T helper cells mainly produce interleukins. When activated by Antigen-Presenting-cells, t-helper cells produce interleukins that activate B cells and is significant in their proliferation during an infection.
