Question

Which of the following type of immune cells are mismatched with their functions? Group of answer choices memory T-cells—mediate apoptosis cytotoxic T-cells—destroy virus-infected cells helper T-cells—secrete cytokines to control immune responses plasma cells—secrete antibodies

Answer 1

Answer:

Memory T-cells—mediate apoptosis

Explanation:

T-lymphocytes on maturation form many types of T cells like a cytotoxic cell, helper T cell, regulatory T cell, memory T cell and others.

The cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells are the major T cells which play important role in eliminating the pathogen as the Helper T cell produces cytokines which stimulate other immune cells and Cytotoxic cells kill the virus intracellular antigens or virus-infected cells.

The Plasma cells secrete antibodies which interact with an antigen and eliminate the pathogen but the memory T cells formed after the interaction with antigen does not mediate apoptosis but they provide a rapid immune response to the infection that has affected in the past by proliferating themselves into effector cells.

Thus, Memory T-cells—mediate apoptosis is the correct answer.
