Verified step by step guidance

Understand the roles of different T cells in the immune response. T cells are a type of lymphocyte that play a central role in cell-mediated immunity.

Identify the function of Helper T cells (CD4+). These cells are crucial for both the cellular and humoral immune responses. They help activate and direct other immune cells, including B cells, which are responsible for antibody production in the humoral response.

Recognize that Helper T cells (CD4+) also assist in activating cytotoxic T cells (CD8+) and macrophages, which are part of the cellular immune response.

Consider the role of Memory T cells, which are involved in the immune system's ability to remember past infections but are not directly involved in both immune responses simultaneously.

Evaluate the function of Regulatory T cells, which help maintain immune tolerance and prevent autoimmune diseases, but are not directly involved in both the cellular and humoral responses.
