**Quiz Question: Immune Response Activation**

*Which of the following cells would be most active in early, antiviral immune responses the first time one is exposed to a pathogen?*

- ○ Helper T Cell
- ○ Dendritic Cell
- ○ B Cell
- ○ Natural Killer Cells

**Explanation:**

This question is evaluating your understanding of the body's initial immune response to a viral infection. Each cell type has a unique role in the immune system:

- **Helper T Cells**: These cells help activate other immune cells but are not the first responders.
  
- **Dendritic Cells**: These act as messengers, processing antigens and presenting them to T cells to initiate an immune response.
  
- **B Cells**: Responsible for antibody production but require activation from other immune cells.
  
- **Natural Killer Cells**: Part of the innate immune system, these cells are critical in responding to virally infected cells in the early stages.
