| The activation of cytotoxic CD8 cells occurs through two methods. The first method of activation of CD8 cells occurs in a very similar manner to the CD4 cells. In this case, the CD8 cell co-receptor binds to the peptide:MHC Class I complex.<sup>13</sup> The binding of the B7 co-stimulatory ligand to the CD28 co-stimulatory receptor is required for CD8 cell activation as well.<sup>13</sup> When CD8 cells are activated by these intracellular interaction, they synthesize interleukin (IL) -2, which is a cytokine, and the IL-2 receptor.<sup>13</sup> This subsequent interaction allows for proliferation and differentiation of CD8 cells.<sup>13</sup> If this process does not provide sufficient co-stimulation, the CD4 effector cells can help to activate naïve virus-specific CD8 cells as well.<sup>13</sup> In this case, the DC interacts with both CD4 and CD8 T-cells through interactions with the peptide:MHC Class II complex and the peptide:MHC Class I complex, respectively.<sup>13</sup> In addition, the IL-2 cytokine that is secreted by the CD4 cell binds to the IL-2 receptor on the CD8 cell, which leads to proliferation and differentiation of the CD8 cell.<sup>13</sup> The activated cytotoxic CD8 cells can now exit the lymph nodes and travel throughout the body to kill distant tumour cells. | The activation of cytotoxic CD8 cells occurs through two methods.
