Answer:

Antigen-presenting cells show digested antigens to T cells through the MHC on their surface, which allows the T cell to “see” the antigen and recognize it as foreign. The connection between the MHC and the receptor on the T cell is the first signal necessary to activate the T cell to respond to a tumor and destroy it.
