Video - T-cell activation

T-cell activation is the process by which an antigen-presenting cell (APC) activates a T-cell. It is an important part of the immune system, as it helps the body to fight off infections and other foreign invaders. During T-cell activation, the APC presents antigen to the T-cell receptor, which then triggers a cascade of signals inside the T-cell, leading to the activation and proliferation of the T-cell. The activation of the T-cell leads to the production of cytokines and other immunological molecules, which help to target and destroy the invading pathogen.
