You are infected with the latest strain of the flu virus. How will your cytotoxic T cells respond?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytotoxic T cells are specialized immune cells that can recognize and kill infected host cells. When a virus infects a host cell, it replicates and produces new virus particles, which are released from the host cell to infect other cells. Cytotoxic T cells can recognize the infected host cells and destroy them to prevent further spread of the virus. They do not secrete antigens, antibodies, or target all host cells, but specifically destroy infected host cells.
