Cells that directly attack and kill other cells?
cytotoxic t cells
What is Tc cells?
Tc cells are cytotoxic cells that are "effetors" of cellular immunity that carry out the attack on a foreign cells in other words Tc cells kill cells that have been infected by a foreign substance
How do T cells destroy infected or diseased 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.
Does amino acid kill cancer cells?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They're not cytotoxic, which is what they'd need to be to kill cancer cells.
What effect does the repression of the class 1 MHC membrane proteins have on the cytotoxic t cells?
If the major histocompatability complex is repressed then the antigen's epitope is not displayed on the cell surface and the cytotoxic T cell will not recognize, dock and kill.
What are cytotoxic T cells for?
they are in our bodies to attack and kill infected cells!

A white blood cell that releases chemicals that kill pathogens?
cytotoxic T-cells

No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They're not cytotoxic, which is what they'd need to be to kill cancer cells.
Which blood cells kill the infected blood cells in the bodys?
-White blood cells White blood cells are like policemen in bloodstream. They are constantly on patrol for infected cells. (Yes; they usually eat them -aka kill them.)
