Class I molecules (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C) present intracellular antigens to CD8+ T cells, while Class II (HLA-D) presents extracellular antigens to CD4+ T cells. Activation of CD4+ T cells occurs through epitope recognition, leading to proliferation and lymphokine secretion, which recruits immune cells and promotes inflammation.

However, they slow pathogen growth and allow time for the adaptive immune response to strengthen and either control or eliminate the pathogen. The innate immune system also sends signals to the cells of the adaptive immune system, guiding them in how to attack the pathogen. Thus, these are the two important arms of the immune response.
