There are no cytotoxic B cells, only cytotoxic T cells.
A cytotoxic T-cell is a form of lymphocyte that is the "killer" T-cell. This cell engulfs damaged or viral/bacterial cells to stop them from infecting the blood.
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 cells are a type of white blood cell called cytotoxic T cells. These cells are important for the immune system's response to infection and cancer, as they can identify and kill infected or abnormal cells.
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.
The role of cytotoxic T cells is to alert Class I MHC molecules to a foreign antigen. This is achieved by the foreign antigen associating with the MHC molecule and being moved out to the cell surface, where the cytotoxic T cell alerts the MHC molecule of the infection.
The cytotoxic T cell, when it finds cells displaying the wrong antigens, ruptures the cell membrane of the offending cell killing it. Cytotoxic T cells are effective against virus infected cells and cancer cells.
A cytotoxic T cell kills cells that have been infected by a virus or bacterium. It does this by puncturing the cell's membrane and by emitting a toxin that kills cells.

cytotoxic t cell and helper t cell
Cytotoxic cells are a type of white blood cell called cytotoxic T cells. These cells are important for the immune system's response to infection and cancer, as they can identify and kill infected or abnormal cells.
Cytotoxic T cells kill infected or abnormal cells by releasing toxic substances that puncture the cell membrane, triggering cell death.

Cytotoxic T cells destroy cancer cells. The cytoxic T cell comes into contrack with a cancer cell. The T cell recognizes that the cancer cell is "nonself" and causes the destruction of the cancer. Also, they can reject transplants like kidneys, resulting in the attack and destruction of the transplanted organ.
Yes, cytotoxic T-cells are a subset of T-cells that in contrast to helpter T-cells express CD8.
