Best Answer

T-cells are one of two white blood cells (lymphocytes) that are necessary to fight off an invader (virus, bacteria) that doesn't belong in the body. There are different types of T-cells: Helper T-cells, T-cytotoxic cells and T-suppressor cells. T-cells do not make antibodies. The other white cell necessary to fight of that invader are B cells which make antibodies. Both cells are needed for us to fight off the various invaders. It is a very complex but smoothly run "war room".

Why are helper t-cells required in an immune attack?

Helper T-cells play a crucial role in coordinating the immune response by activating other immune cells such as B-cells and cytotoxic T-cells. They help regulate the immune system's response to foreign invaders, ensuring an effective and targeted attack on pathogens. Without helper T-cells, the immune system would not be able to mount a strong and specific defense against infections.
