Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells use multiple mechanisms to destroy their target cells. Pore formation resulting in osmotic lysis of the target is one mechanism; the pore-forming protein (perforin) responsible for this activity has been purified. Antigenically and functio

## Abstract The mechanism of the lysis of target cells by cytotoxic Tโcells (Tc) is still obscure; there is no evidence for transfer of material from the Tc and prior to lysis, despite intimate contact, the plasma membranes of both types of cell appear to remain intact. The effects on the target ce
## Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated lysis via the Fc receptor of target cells* The murine monoclonal antibody F23.1 reacts with an allotypic determinant on the T cell receptors of about 25% of peripheral T lymphocytes in most common mouse strains. In this report we demonstrate that this IgG2, antib
