Protein-based subunit vaccines initiate T cell-dependent activation of B cells.

Protein-based subunit vaccines initiate T cell-dependent activation of B cells. Correct Answer True

The above statement is true. Protein-based subunit vaccines initiate T cell-dependent activation of B cells, a process characterized by a more robust immune response, affinity maturation, and immunological memory. On the contrary, polysaccharide vaccines are unable to recruit the assistance of T helper cells and thus rely on T cell-dependent activation alone.
