Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The effector cytotoxic T cells kill the infected foreign cells in the body by binding to the cell receptor of the T cells and secreting proteins called as the perforins which are toxic and cause the degradation and death of the infected bacterial cells.

Students have asked these similar questions
How is the cytotoxic T cell mechanism of action similar to that of complement? A. Cytotoxic T cells secrete the proteins that activate complement. В. Cytotoxic T cells induce cell lysis with perforin, a protein similar to complement's MAC. C. Cytotoxic T cells activate B cells to produce antibodies. D. Cytotoxic T cells are antigen-presenting cells similar to the complement proteins found on B cells.
Which event happens first during cytotoxic T-cell activation? a. Cytotoxic T cells secrete perforin and granzyme. b. Cytotoxic T cells recognize foreign antigen presented on the surface of a MHC I molecule. c. Cytotoxic T cells proliferate to form many new cells specific for the same antigen d. Cytotoxic T cells recognize foreign antigen presented on the surface of a TCR.
Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect.  Which statement is true about T cells? a. They usually directly recognize antigens, which then activates a subpopulation of killer cells b. Their proliferation is enhanced by interleukins 1 and 2. c. Once activated, they cannot secrete cytokines. d. They will develop into cytotoxic T cells if antigen is complexed with class II MHC proteins.
