Authentic Biochemistry

Dr Guerra continues his associative pathobiochemical dialectic concerning T lymphocytte differentaition and senescence The  Th and Tc populations following uptake and processing of an antigen by an APC such as a dendritic cell is presented either to the CD8 population in the context of MHC-I or to the CD4 subpopulation in the context of MHC-II generates a cascading set of cellular lymphoproliferative and differentiative steps initiated under the inductive influence of cytokines that ultimately determine  effector functions.
