Without any helper T cells, I believe the they will not be able to call on the b cells and the killer t cells. B cells are important becuase they notice the anitgen on macrophages and they put an antibody on it. When this happens the killer t cells kill. Without this process the body cannot fight off infections by itself
Helper T-cells are needed in an immune system response because they are what trigger the B-cells and killer T-cells to help destroy the virus. B-cells then produce antibodies that kill the antigens and fight off the disease. When there are no T-cells this process is not activated. An example of this is in the disease AIDS when it destroys the host's helper T-cells. This causes the B-cells to not produce antibodies that fight the virus. The virus might never be distroyed and kill of the host.
If we didn't have helper T cells then they wouldn't be able to signal the killer T cells and B cells. If we didn't have the helper T cells the B cells wouldn't be able to produce antibodies. Which then tag the antigen, marking it to be destroyed. If we didn't have the helper T cells then are body wouldn't be able to fight off infections. Kristen Perreault Period 4
I agree with all these previous posts. Without helper T cells, there are no messages sent to trigger the rest of the response. B cells and Killer T cells would have no use if they were unaware that they were needed. B cells are needed to produce antibodies to tag and paralyze an antigen so the Killer T cells can destroy it for good. Without helper T cells, the chain reaction of messages is interrupted and the immune system can't function. As Holly said, this is what AIDS does and it is also what Ebola does. The difference though is that AIDS targets the immune response so that another infection can kill a host whereas Ebola does this so it can reproduce itself throughout the body without interruption. Basically, with any disease or common cold, every aspect of the immune system is required to protect our bodies.
I also agree with the previous posts. Without helper T cells to Warn the B cells and T cells the body cannot fight of any Virus. B cells and T cells working together can defeat the invader but only through a cordinated attack. The B Cells produce Antibodies to stop the virus so the T cells can go out and eliminate it. With out the immune system acting with precision the body is left defensless. it will not respond to any vrus invasion and your body will be helpless to prevent the spread of virus and bacteria.
As the other posts have stated, the destruction of the helper T-cell will certainly prove to be fatal. Without the helper T-cell to warn our B and T cells, our immune system is blind so-to-speak. The absence of the helper T-cell causes our immune system to be virtually unaware that a response is needed, therefore not triggering the B and T cells. Whereas the B cells provide the necessities to eliminate the threat (in this case the Ebola virus) and the T cells attack and destroy the virus their absence allows the virus to spread freely.
Helper T cells are crucial to the immune system response. Without helper T cells, cell communication for the immune response would be impossible (Helper T cells notify B cells and other T cells to target and destroy virus proteins). Without Helper T cells, the immune response would be impossible.
The helper T-cells are an essential aspect of the immune system necessary for proper functioning of our body’s response to fight off pathogens. As said in all of the other posts, these cells are what notice that there is a pathogen in the body, and then trigger the B-cells and killer T-cells to go out and do their specific jobs in the immune response. The B-cells find the virus particles and then produce antibodies to disable the harmful antigens that are destroying the other cells. Once the B-cells have anesthetized the antigens, the killer T-cells then get rid of the antigen for good, bringing the immune system one step closer to fixing the viral problem occurring in the body. Without the helper T-cells none of this communication could occur, and the immune system is unable to fight off the intruding virus. As Meagan and Holly said, this is what happens in diseases such as AIDS and Ebola – stopping the immune system from being able to fight back.
The destruction of helper T-Cells in the immune system would prohibit the immune response to ever start. Helper T-Cells signal B-Cells and killer T-Cells to be called into action. If helper T-Cells are destroyed then the immune response doesn’t occur causing the virus or infection to wreak havoc on your body and pretty much destroy your cells. If the immune response doesn’t occur the virus continues to kill your cells. You saw the complete destruction of cells in the Ebola host’s bodies. When the cells break down due to the virus popping them and there is no response to slow down this process and stop it then the virus/ bacteria destroys the body.
It was good to see someone mention signal, warning, messages, and finally "communication." This is certainly relating the answer to the question to what we have studied, and how important cell communication is for homeostasis.

I need more detail on how this affects the immune system process.
