* number of marks are indicative of an increased number of responses or increased

detail required (the reason the number of marks is so high is that Ive broken down
all of the part marks in advance!)
* For the purpose of this tutorial, content from lecture is common knowledge (i.e.
where T cells are educated) and does not require a citation/source. Information
derived outside of lecture material (i.e. affinity of TCR) requires a citation/source
