responses
Cell-Mediated Immune Response
Specific
antigen recognition
L Antigen
recognition by T lymphocytes
Nonly the CD4+

Nrecognition
is via TCR + CD3 complex and the CD4 and CD8
Nonly small
peptide fragments (degraded proteins) are recognized
Nfree peptides
or those membrane proteins associated with self MHC molecules are not recognized
