5–27 Pathogens that infect the human body replicate either inside cells (such as viruses) or extracellularly, in the blood or in the extracellular spaces in tissues.
A. Identify (i) the class of T cells that are stimulated by intracellular pathogens, (ii) their co-receptor, (iii) the MHC molecule used for recognition of antigen and (iv) the T-cell effector function.
B. Repeat this for the classes of T cells that are stimulated by extracellular pathogens. For the purposes of this question, count those pathogens (such as mycobacteria) that can survive and live inside intracellular vesicles after being taken up by macrophages as extracellular pathogens.
