How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18858075 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: CD8+ T cells Context triple: [major histocompatibility complex, recognizedBy, CD8+ T cells]
-
A.
CD4+ T cells
CD4+ T cells are a subset of immune cells that coordinate and regulate the body’s adaptive immune response, playing a central role in defending against infections.
-
B.
B lymphocytes
B lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell central to the adaptive immune system, responsible for producing antibodies and mediating humoral immunity.
-
C.
CD3 complex
The CD3 complex is a multi-subunit protein complex associated with the T-cell receptor that is essential for T-cell activation and signal transduction in the immune system.
-
D.
CD19
CD19 is a B-cell surface protein widely used as a key immunotherapy target in treatments for B-cell malignancies such as certain leukemias and lymphomas.
-
E.
Betz cells
Betz cells are large, pyramidal neurons in the primary motor cortex that play a key role in voluntary motor control by sending long axons to the spinal cord.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
