The CD8+ variety destroy virally infected cells and are known as the cytotoxic type of these.
Activation of these depends on the phosphorylation of the ITAM motifs on CD3 proteins in these, and one variety of these responds to HMB-PP, a non-protein metabolite, and is abundant in the gut mucosa. The NK variety of these recognize a glycolipid presented by CD1d molecules, and the CD4+ type of these associate with macrophages that produce MHC class II proteins. The CD8+ variety destroy virally infected cells and are known as the cytotoxic type of these. For ten poins, identify these immune response cells named for the thymus.
