Progress is being made in determining how cytotoxic cells are activated, the way the lethal hit is delivered and the subsequent events in the target cell. Several factors cloud the issue, including the heterogeneity of cytotoxic cells, differences between fresh cells and cell lines, and the possibil
There are two competing theories to explain the mechanism(s) by which cytolytic T lymphocytes kill target cells: granule exocytosis of a pore-forming protein, and contact-induced internal disintegration. Accumulated evidence supports alternative pathways in lymphocytoxicity, possibly reflecting dist
