- T-helper cells play an important role in adaptive immunity. They not only help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, but they also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.
- HIV destroys(CD4+ cells) T-helper cells.They're responsible for keeping you healthy from common diseases and infections. As HIV gradually weakens your natural defences, signs and symptoms will occur.
- Hence HIV attacks T-helper cells.
- So, the correct answer is 'T-helper cell'.
