<span>-TH2 - B-cell activation
-TC - destroy infected or cancerous body cells
-TH17 - pro-inflammatory
-Treg - anti-inflammatory
-TH1 - activate cytotoxic T cells

</span>

T cells are so called because they are predominantly produced in the thymus. They recognise  foreign particles (antigen) by a surface expressed, highly variable, T cell receptor (TCR). There are two major types of T cells: the helper T cell and the cytotoxic T cell. As the names suggest helper T cells ‘help’ other cells of the immune system, whilst cytotoxic T cells kill virally infected cells and tumours.

Unlike antibody, the TCR cannot bind antigen directly.  Instead it needs to have broken-down peptides of the antigen ‘presented’ to it by an antigen presenting cell (APC). The molecules on the APC that present the antigen are called major histocompatibility complexes (MHC).  There are two types of MHC: MHC class I and MHC class II.  MHC class I presents to cytotoxic T cells; MHC class II presents to helper T cells.

Monocots and dicots are two groups of _____.
Step2247 [10]
I believe the correct answer is the second option. Monocots and dicots are two groups of angiosperms. This group of plants are seed bearing plants. Flowers are their reproductive system where the ovules are being enclosed in the ovary. Angiosperms can be found in every habitat from grasslands and forests to deserts and sea margins. Angiospersms are divided to monocots and dicots. Monocot plants are characterized by having one cotyledon while dicots have two. Also, leaf veins of monocots are branched while that of dicots are parallel. The root system of monocots is a fibrous root system while dicots have a taproot system.
