Cell cytotoxicity is the ability of a substance or agent to cause cell death or damage to cells. This can occur through various mechanisms, including inducing apoptosis, disrupting cell membranes, or interfering with cellular functions. Cell cytotoxicity is often studied in the context of evaluating the effects of drugs, chemicals, or immune responses on cells.
Cell-mediated immunity decreases at puberty due to hormonal changes that can influence the development and function of immune cells, such as T cells. During puberty, there is a shift in the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, which can affect immune regulation and responsiveness. Additionally, hormonal changes can impact the production of cytokines and other immune mediators involved in cell-mediated immunity.
Cytotoxicity refers to the ability of a substance to cause cell damage or death. It is often used in the context of evaluating the toxic effects of drugs, chemicals, or other agents on cells in laboratory settings. Cytotoxicity can impact various cellular processes and is an important consideration in fields such as toxicology and pharmacology.
no
This is called endocytosis.
This statement is not accurate. Pathogens can provoke both cell-mediated and antibody-mediated responses at the same time. The type of immune response generated depends on the specific characteristics of the pathogen and the immune system of the host.
Antigen presentation: Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) process and present antigens to T cells. T cell activation: APCs activate T cells by binding to their T cell receptors and providing co-stimulatory signals. T cell proliferation and differentiation: Activated T cells undergo clonal expansion and differentiate into effector T cells, such as cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells. Target cell destruction: Effector T cells recognize and kill infected or abnormal cells through various mechanisms, such as releasing cytotoxic molecules or activating other immune cells.
