Question

An experiment is designed to determine specific cell types involved in cell-mediated immune response. The experimenter is interested in finding cells that attack cells that have specific antigens. Which cells should be isolated?a. Lymphokine-producing cellsb. T-cytotoxic cellsc. Helper T cellsd. Macrophages

Answer 1

The correct answer is T-cytotoxic cells

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (LTC) or Killer T lymphocyte is a lymphocyte stimulated by thymosin (hence called thymus-dependent) to develop the ability to kill cells that exhibit specific antigens identified as threats to the body by other cells of the immune system.
