What is released by T Helper cells? CD4
IL-4…B cell to plasma cells
IL-2….mature cytotoxic T
T Helper 2 cells job
Release anti inflammatory cells ( IL-4-inhibits macrophages
Cytotoxic T cells CD8 job

CD8 activation
Target for cytotoxic T
Single chain with 5 domains
MHC Class II (DR, DP, DQ)….. (2letters) job
CD4 activation
On B cells
Activate for helper T
2 chains with 4 domains
