The mechanism by which cytotoxic T cells attack the target cells.

Introduction:

T cells are produced from hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow akin to B cells but they later migrate to the thymus gland for maturation. During maturation, they develop one of two sets of surface proteins, CD4 or CD8. These proteins determine what type of T cell fate they will acquire. CD4 T cells give rise to helper and memory cells while CD8 T cells give rise to cytotoxic cells and suppressor cells.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
