Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CTLs (Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes) are responsible for destroying virus-infected cells by recognizing and targeting them for destruction. They do this by identifying viral antigens presented on the surface of infected cells and inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in those cells. Tᵣₑg cells (regulatory T cells) and TH cells (T helper cells) play important roles in regulating the immune response, but they do not directly destroy virus-infected cells. Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells that help activate the immune response, but they do not themselves destroy virus-infected cells. B cells produce antibodies that can recognize and neutralize viruses, but they do not directly destroy virus-infected cells.
