Learning Objectives for "The Adaptive Immune System: B3. T4-Lymphocytes"

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1. Describe the overall function of T4-lymphocytes and their activation in terms of the following:

a. the role of their TCRs and CD4 molecules

b. what they recognize on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B-lymphocytes.

c. the role of antigen-presenting dendritic cells in the activation of naive T4-lymphocytes.

2. Compare T_H1, T_H2, T_H17, T_reg, and T_FH lymphocytes in terms of their primary function(s) in immunity.
