Multiple Choice

Cytotoxic effector T cells also produce inflammatory cytokines such as IFN- γ\gamma and TNF- α\alpha when their T-cell receptor recognizes peptide:MHC on a target cell. One effect of this cytokine secretion is to enhance the ability of CD8 effector T cells to recognize and kill other infected cells in the nearby vicinity. This enhanced activity is due to:


A) The increased production of perforin and granzymes by CD8 cells
B) The up-regulation of MHC class I protein expression by IFN- γ\gamma
C) The ability of TNF- α\alpha to induce vascular leakage
D) The effect of cytokines on promoting target cell apoptosis
E) The effect of IFN- γ\gamma to enhance viral replication leading to increased viral antigen presentation
