The control of CD*+ Cytotoxic cells by T-helper cells (cd4+) is a
mojor question in immunology. A class-I, TcR interaction is necessary,
but I thought a class II inteaction could nt be blocked without
activity. The presentce of Th2 cells is a necessity.

>The possibility that the cd8 cell has to be activated by an Class I cells
could be the first step. An aditional activation could be the second step, by the suddenly arrising Class II molecules on the CD8+ cells.
Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong?
