Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Binding of T-cells and cancer cells occurs through
A
RBC
B
WBC
C
CD8/TCR complex
D
MHC
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -CD8+ T cells recognize antigens in the form of short peptide fragments bound to major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecules on the target cell surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -CD8+ T lymphocytes play a central role in immunity to cancer through their capacity to kill malignant cells upon recognition by T-cell receptor (TCR) of specific antigenic peptides presented on the surface of target cells by human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I)/beta-2-microglobulin (2m) complexes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Activated CAR T cells multiply and signal to other parts of the immune system to come to the site of the cancer cell. These signaling proteins are called cytokines. All of these cytokines and activated T cells then cause significant inflammation focused at the cancer cell, which causes the cancer cell to die.
