Picture this concept, a picture of a developing CD8 T-cell is shown with IL-2 directly activating it. BUT...know that Boards want you to understand which subset T cell (Th0, Th1, Th2, Th3) is IL-12...again IL-12...acting on which turns it into the CD8 cytotoxic cell.
a) People got it confused...MHC Class I and Th1 and CD1. KNOW it is Th1. Th2 is made as IL-4 acts on the naive T cell. Recall that it is IL-4 that pushes the naive T-cell to become Th2 which via IL-4 and IL-5 assists in antibodies to be formed.
