A young adult is exposed to a virus that infects and replicates in mucosal epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract. One
component of the protective immune response to this viral infection is mediated by CD8 cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs), which recognize and kill virus-infected cells. The CTLs can recognize and kill the infected cells because ______
The CTL has specific receptors that can recognize infected or damaged cells.
Explanation:
The cytotoxic T cells (CTL) is a type of white blood cells that specifically helps in destroying virus-infected cells (also damaged cells and cancer cells).
This type of cells has a special receptor called T-cells receptors (TCR) which ones recognize specific antigens (molecule that stimulate the immune systems because are “strange” to them). Virus inside a cell could bind to a special molecule called class I MHC, this molecule moves the virus to the surface of the cell where it can be recognized by a CD8+ specific antigen-receptor of the CTL.
Humans are heavily polluting the waters in many areas with chemicals, medicine (for people), and garbage. A way that the government can help stop this issue is to have groups do routine cleanings of natural bodies of water along with prohibite the use of disposable items in the area like cups and/or bags.
