Question

Which of the following cell types is responsible for activating B cells in germinal centers?

1) TH1
2) TH₂
3) TH17
4) TFH
5) Plasma cell

Answer 1

TFH cells are responsible for activating B cells in germinal centers.

Step-by-step explanation:

TFH cells are a specialized subset of T helper cells that interact with B cells in germinal centers to facilitate the development of high-affinity antibodies.

TFH cells provide help to B cells by releasing cytokines and activating receptors on the B cells, which leads to the production of plasma cells and memory B cells.
