They are essential in B cell antibody class switching, in the activation and growth of cytotoxic T cells, and in maximizing bactericidal activity of phagocytes such as macrophages. Mature T h cells express the surface protein CD4 and are referred to as CD4+ T cells.Such CD4 + T cells are generally treated as having a pre-defined role as helper T cells within the immune system.hey are essential in B cell antibody class switching, in the activation and growth of cytotoxic T cells, and in maximizing bactericidal activity of phagocytes such as macrophages.
