Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 2TS
Compare the ways in which natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells recognize the cells they are going to kill. Why does it make good biological sense for NK cells and cytotoxic T cells to recognize, for example,virus-infected cells in these different ways?

Which statement best describes the difference between responses of effector B cells (plasma cells) and those of cytotoxic T cells? (A) B cells confer active immunity;cytotoxic T cells confer passive immunity. (B) B cells respond the first time a pathogen is present; cytotoxic T cells respond subsequent times. (C) B cells secrete antibodies against a pathogen; cytotoxic T cells kill pathogen-infected host cells. (D) B cells carry out the cell-mediated response; cytotoxic T cells carry out the humoral response.
Explain the mechanism by which NK cells are able to engage a highly specific antigen receptor during their activation.
Cytotoxic T cells are immune cells that can eliminate some virus-infected cells.
a. Briefly describe how activated cytotoxic T cells can kill virus-infected cells.
