The animation illustrates how cytotoxic T cells kill virus-infected cells. The movie shows how the body, in response to a virus infection, can produce clones of cytotoxic T cells that specifically target and destroy infected cells. The movie highlights key molecules that enable the cytotoxic T cell to kill only infected cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

(Its an Japanese Animation Show or Anime)
1. why virus-infected cell expose the virus fragment? if they can recognize virus on their own, they could just turn on apoptosis and not waste time/energy of the body immune system.
2. how does activated t-cell knows not to attack the 'scouting' cell, if the attack and activation are triggered by same molecular complex?
I absolutely love this way of learning. Thank you very much for the content ❤️
WTF! I am in the charge of activating T cells ....and YOU DELETED MY ENTIRE ROLE!!
