Learning Objectives for "The Adaptive Immune System: The Steps Involved in Cell-Mediated Immunity"

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1. Briefly describe the process of antigen recognition in cell-mediated immunity and how cell-mediated immunity defends the body. Indicate the role of:

b. T4-helper lymphocytes, TCR, and CD4
c. co-stimulatory molecules
d. T8-lymphocytes, TCR, and CD8
e. cytokines
f. T_h1 cells
g. cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs), TCR, CD8, perforin and granzymes, and apoptosis
h. T-memory cells
i. T8-suppressor cells
