What do T-cells check each cell for?

Most excellent question! The T cell checks cells to see if the antigens that are presented on MHC class I molecules are self or foreign. If it is self, then it is left alone. Otherwise it will decide that it needs to destroy.

No, cancer cells express self antigens, so your body cannot recognize it as foreign or dangerous.


How are tumor cells diffrent from normal cells?

Normal cells have a self-destruct mechanism. This means that at any time, when a cell realises it's not functioning correctly and there's nothing it can do to repair itself and correct the mistake. It'll destroy itself. The incorrect funtionning of a tumor cell however is a defect in this self-destruct mechanism. So the cell will never destroy itself even though it's not working correctly. Since cell division is basically making another copy of the mother cell, this defect is passed on to all cells that are produced from this mother cell and the error is never detected.

What is the difference between stem cells and progenitor cells?

The main difference between a stem cell and a differentiated cell is: A stem cell has the ability to self-renewel and also has the ability to differentiate(to become a tissue specific cell). But, a differentiated cell don't have the ability to self-renewel(moreover a stem cell get specialised to a differentiated cell).


What does cell division mean in science?

Cell division is the process in which cells self-replicate to produce two daughter cells identical to one another and the original cell. Cell replication is what makes you grow!


How does the immune system fight a virus?

T cells compare non-self antigens to HLA (human leukocyte antigens) molecules with proteins the system already knows are its own. Your T-cells don't react to your HLA because of tolerance but are not tolerant to the HLA proteins of someone else. Thus, when there is a non-self system in your body (i.e.: after a transplant), your T-cells will begin a cell-mediated immune response against it, considering them foreign.


Does thymic selection destroy MHC molecules?

The thymus goes through a positive and negative selection for T cells. T cells will respond to MHC class 1, either ignore if self or activate to destroy if foreign.
