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.
CD8+ T lymphocytes, also known as cytotoxic T cells, become cytotoxic when they are activated by presenting antigens on major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. These cells play a key role in the immune response by directly killing infected or abnormal cells.
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.
The human body makes two main types of cytotoxic T cells: CD8+ T cells and natural killer T cells. CD8+ T cells are able to directly kill infected cells, while natural killer T cells have a broader range of targets and can also interact with other immune cells.
The three main types of T cells are: helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and regulatory T cells. Helper T cells assist in activating other immune cells, cytotoxic T cells directly kill infected or abnormal cells, and regulatory T cells help control the immune response to prevent excessive reactions.
Cytotoxic T-cells are just a specialized subset of T-cells that express CD8 (a co-stimulatory molecule). In general, there are two types of T-cells, helper T-cells that express CD4 and cytotoxic T-cells that express CD8. As the name implies, cytotoxic T-cells have the role of killing any infected cells.
CD8+ T cells divide and differentiate into cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

Yes, cytotoxic T-cells are a subset of T-cells that in contrast to helpter T-cells express CD8.

Class I MHC molecules present antigens to cytotoxic T-cells (which are CD3+CD8+).
Db-gp33-specific CD8 T cells are cytotoxic CD8 T-cells which can specifically recognize the gp33 epitope when presented in the context of the mouse MHC class I complex, H-2Db. The gp33 epitope is comprised of the sequence of amino acids in positions 33-41 of the glycoprotein from LCMV (Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus).
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.
Cytotoxic T cells (CD8+ T cells) are responsible for directly killing virus-infected body cells and some tumor cells by releasing cytotoxic molecules like perforin and granzymes. They recognize infected or abnormal cells by recognizing antigens presented on the cell surface.
Cells that directly attack and kill other cells are known as cytotoxic cells. These can include natural killer (NK) cells, cytotoxic T cells, and macrophages. They play a crucial role in the immune system's defense against infected or abnormal cells.
