Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytotoxic T cells (CD8) and helper T cells (CD4) are both types of T cells that are involved in the immune response to viral infections, like EBV. They work together to identify and kill infected cells (cytotoxic) and activate other immune cells (helper) to help fight the infection. The other choices include various types of immune cells, but not specifically T cells.
