Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

T cell subtype 1 (TS1) or cytotoxic T cells (TC cells) are responsible for synthesizing perforins and granzymes to destroy bacteria, virus infected cells, and cancer cells. Choice A (T_C) represents the subset of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells that perform this function. Choice B (T_H) does not exist as a known T cell subset. CD4 and MHC are not T cell subsets, but rather cell surface proteins involved in T cell activation and antigen recognition, respectively.
