Explanation -

A physician is trying to determine if a patient has functioning helper T cells.The events would provide evidence that helper T cells are acting normally is The inflammatory response is triggered.

Effector T helper cells are divided into two subsets TH1 and TH2 based on the different cytokines they produce.
