ID Virus-infected cells are recognized and killed by
cytotoxic CDS+ Tells, The ell receptor on the CDS+ T cells
binds to the complex of viral peptide and MHC class I mol-
ceules displayed on the surface ofthe infected cell. Natural
aller (NK) cells also recognize MH class I molecules with
sel-peptides, but this sei-ecognition inhibits NK cell Kill
ing. Viruses that inhibit MFIC T expression of peptides may
hide from cytotoxic cells, but not lrom NK cells. The other

[ID Natural killer (NK) cells have the ability to respond
without prior sensitization. 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-

[148 € Streptococeal M proteins cross-react with eardiae
glycoproteins, resulting in rheumatic heart disease, a form
of autoimmunity. 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. Release of sequestered antigens
can cause autoimmunity; this mechanism is likely in at
