Following exposure to radiation a lot of mutant cells appeared in a patient. Some time later most of them were detected and destroyed by the following cells of the immune system:
- A. Plasmoblasts
- B. T-lymphocytes-suppressors
- C. T-lymphocytes-killers
- D. B-lymphocyte
- E. Stem cells
Hint
Ask which effector cells recognise altered antigens on the body's own cells and destroy them by direct contact, as distinct from cells that produce antibodies or regulate the response.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
