Question

A helper T cell can bind only to another cell
that has
a. MHC-II proteins.
b. an epitope.
c. an antigen-binding site.
d. a complement-binding site.
e. a CD4 protein.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The distinction of microorganisms by T cells is the prominent incident in the adaptive resistant reaction to infection. Each T cell conveys an unusual T-cell antigen receptor (TCR), which comprehends microorganism-derived peptides submitted on cell-surface major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules.

Step 2

Answer: Option a. MHC-II proteins.

The explanation for the answer :

Human T cells express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens and adhesion molecules characteristic of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), and r~cent in vitro and in vivo evidence supports an antigen-presenting [unction for T cells.
The T-cell receptor binds to the MHC: peptide network.  a: the T-cell receptor binds to the lid of the MHC: peptide complex, straddling, in the domain helices.
MHC I are established on all nucleated body cells, and MHC II are established on macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells  along with MHC I
