Cell-mediated Immunity:
Role of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
Role of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
This topic emphsizes all about the role of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in human immune system
From this topic students are able to learn about
1. T-lymphocytes
2. The different types of T-cells.
3. The role of CTLs in immunity.
Role of activated CTLs
Cytotoxic T cell is a type of immune cell that can kill certain cells, including foreign cells, cancer cells, and cells infected with a virus.
Additionally, CTLs can be separated from other blood cells, grown in the laboratory, and then given to a patient to kill cancer cells.
The prediction is correct. The activation, proliferation and differentiation of lymphocytes by recognition or by releasing some cytokines.
The students can know about that, Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) constitute a distinct lymphocyte subpopulation, and are induced by several diverse stimuli, including major histocompatibility antigens, protein antigens, viruses, and intracellular bacteria and parasites.
