The document summarizes key aspects of the immune system, including that helper T cells activate and stimulate the clonal expansion of other immune cells like cytotoxic T cells, B cells, and phagocytes in response to antigens. Antigen-presenting cells display antigens on their cell membranes to helper T cells to trigger an immune response. The immune system distinguishes self cells from non-self pathogens through cell recognition mechanisms involving proteins on cell membranes.
