They carry receptors for MHC class 1 molecules, which inhibit thei Iytc function, When expression of class I MHC molecules is reduced on a cell surface by viral interference the inhibitory receptors on NK cells do not receive a negative signal, and the targeted cel is kalled. NK cells are often the first line of defense against viral infection. CD4+ cells are helper T cells that assist other cells, such as NK cells, macrophages, and B cells, in the immune response. Dendritic cells aid in antigen presentation. Mac- rophages can phagocytize necrotic cells, then process and CHAPTER 6 Immune System Diseases display any foreign antigens within those cells.

The other listed options are not major immune responses to streptococcal infection. Breakdown of T cell anergy usually occurs when localized tissue dazn- age and inflammation cause up-regulation of co-stimu latory molecules on the target tissues. This is a possible mechanism of autoimmunity in the brain and in pancreatic islet cells. Failure of T cell-mediated suppression has not yet been shown to cause any autoimmune disease; it re- rains a potential mechanism. Microbial products such as endotoxin or bacterial superantigens may ease polyclonal lymphocyte activation.
