I think it may be caused by CTLs
Yes, both cytotoxic T cells and NK cells use perforin as a key component of their mechanism to induce cell death in target cells. Perforin creates pores in the target cell membrane, allowing entry of pro-apoptotic proteins that trigger cell death. This process is important for the immune system to eliminate infected or abnormal cells.
CD8 T cells kill infected cells by releasing proteins called perforins and granzymes. Perforins create pores in the infected cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter and trigger cell death. This process helps eliminate the infected cell and stop the spread of the infection.
Cytotoxic T cells have the ability to recognize and target infected or abnormal cells in the body by releasing toxic chemicals that induce cell death. This process helps to eliminate pathogens or cancerous cells, playing a crucial role in the immune response against infections and tumors.
Cell death is often referred to as apoptosis, which is a natural process of programmed cell death in multicellular organisms. This process is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and removing damaged or unnecessary cells from the body.
Damage at the cellular level - such as damage to mitochondria or enzymes, damage to the DNA or damage to the cell membrane. If the damage is serious enough, this will lead to either apoptosis (programmed, controlled cell-death), or necrosis (spontaneous, unplanned death).
Perforin and granzymes are substances secreted by cytotoxic T cells to destroy target cells. Perforin creates pores in the target cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter and initiate cell death.
Cytotoxic T cells can destroy cancer cells by means of a secretion called perforin. Perforin is a protein that forms pores in the membrane of target cells, allowing toxic enzymes to enter and induce cell death.
Cytotoxic T cells are activated by antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, presenting antigens from pathogens. This interaction triggers the release of cytotoxic granules containing enzymes like perforin and granzymes. Perforin creates pores in the target cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter and induce apoptosis, killing the infected cell.
Perforins are proteins that form pores in the target cell membrane, allowing entry of granzymes into the target cell. Granzymes are enzymes that are delivered into the target cell by perforins and trigger apoptosis, or cell death, in the target cell.
Cytotoxic T cells release substances like perforin and granzymes, which create pores in the target cell membrane leading to cell death. These substances trigger a cascade of events inside the target cell, ultimately causing its destruction. This is a crucial mechanism for eliminating infected or abnormal cells in the body.
Perforin is a protein released by cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells as part of the immune response against infected or abnormal cells. It creates pores in the target cell's membrane, leading to cell death by inducing apoptosis. Perforin plays a crucial role in the body's defense against pathogens and cancer cells.
T cells can secrete perforin, a protein that creates pores in target cells, allowing granzymes to enter and trigger apoptosis by fragmenting the target cell's DNA. This process is an important mechanism used by T cells to eliminate infected or cancerous cells.

CD8 T cells kill infected cells by releasing proteins called perforins and granzymes. Perforins create pores in the infected cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter and trigger cell death. This process helps eliminate the infected cell and stop the spread of the infection.
Perforin is produced by cytotoxic T cells (CD8+ T cells) and natural killer (NK) cells. It is used in these cells to induce cell apoptosis in target cells, such as infected or cancerous cells.
Cytotoxic T-cells kill infected cells in one of two ways: 1. By interaction with Fas ligand on T-cell with Fas molecule on target cell (induces apoptosis). 2. Release of lytic granules containing granzymes (also induces apoptosis) - For this, the T-cell needs to form pores in the target cell using perforin and granulysin.
Perforin, a protein released by cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells, forms pores in the cell membranes of invading cells. This disruption leads to osmotic imbalance, cell death, and elimination of the invading cell.
