Question
t-lymphocyte signaling
the signaling pathway followed by t-lymphocytes in response to antigenic stimulation is
endocrine signaling
paracrine signaling
autocrine signaling
juxtacrine signaling
T - lymphocytes, when responding to antigenic stimulation, often use autocrine signaling. In autocrine signaling, a cell produces a signal (like cytokines) that acts on itself. T - cells can secrete cytokines that bind to their own receptors to regulate their own activation and function, which is consistent with autocrine signaling. Endocrine signaling involves hormones traveling through the bloodstream (not typical for T - cell antigen response), paracrine is signaling to nearby cells (not self - directed here), and juxtacrine is direct cell - cell contact signaling (not the main for T - cell antigen response signaling pathway).
