Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

T cells with CD8 receptors are cytotoxic T cells (or TC cells) and they recognize virus-infected cells by viral antigens presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I molecules on the surface of infected cells. Macrophages present antigens on MHC II molecules, which are recognized by CD4+ T cells (or TH cells). NK cells do not have the CD8 receptor and do not require antigen presentation by MHC molecules to recognize and kill virus-infected cells. TD cells is not a recognized type of T cell.
