**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Antibodies**: Antibodies are specialized proteins known as immunoglobulins that are produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances called antigens. These antigens can be pathogens like bacteria or viruses. 2. **Role of T Helper Cells**: When an antigen enters the body, it is recognized by T helper cells (a type of T lymphocyte). These cells play a crucial role in the immune response by identifying the antigen and activating other immune cells. 3. **Activation of B Cells**: Upon recognition of the antigen, T helper cells provide signals (through cytokines) to B cells (B lymphocytes). This activation is essential for the B cells to respond to the presence of the antigen. ...
