_____ are targets of cytotoxic T cells.
Concept introduction: The cytotoxic T cell is a T lymphocyte that can kill cancer cells, the cells that are infected, or the cells that are damaged in any other ways. The cytotoxic T cells express T-cell receptors that can recognize a specific antigen.
Reason for correct answer:
The cell-mediated response targets the infected or cancerous body cells. The cancerous cells will display abnormal proteins on their cell surface, and the body infected with viruses displays polypeptides of the infecting agent. These cells are killed in a cell-mediated response, and the killers are the antigen-sensitized cytotoxic T cells.
Option b. is given as āVirus-infected body cells or tumor cellsā. As the cytotoxic T cells target the virus-infected body cells or tumor cells, option b. is correct.
Reasons for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as āExtracellular virus particles in bloodā.
Antibody-mediated response acts against the extracellular virus particles in the blood. Therefore, option a. is incorrect answer.
Option c...
