Quizplus · Accepted Answer

T helper 1 cells generate inflammatory responses, while T helper 2 (Th2) cells assist with antibody production. Cytotoxic T cells subset 1 (Tc1) are important to kill infected target cells, and cytotoxic T cells subset 2 (Tc2) are able to inhibit replication of viruses and tumor cells.
