	Cytotoxic T cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cytotoxic T cells are activated when their TCR binds to an MHC class I molecule presenting viral antigen, which can occur on any nucleated or neoplastic cell.
		cells release the cytoxins perforin and granulysin, which forms pores in the target cell's plasma membrane; this causes ions and water to flow into the target cell, making it expand and eventually lyse.
		cells have the protein CD8 present on the cell surface, which is attracted to portions of the Class I MHC molecule.

		Cytotoxic T cells are a key part of the cellular immune response, killing cells that display foreign antigen on their surface, primarily virus-infected cells.
		Cytotoxic T cells also express Fas ligand to bind to Fas on target cells and induce apoptosis.
		Cytotoxic T cell activation also requires additional signals provided by helper T cells in addition to signals provided by antigen-presenting cells.

		T cells recognize foreign antigens as peptide fragments presented in the groove of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded molecules expressed on the cell surface.
		subset of T lymphocytes, recognize and kill cells expressing foreign peptides derived from infection with viruses or intracellular bacteria, or from self-proteins that are overexpressed or mutated in tumors.
		It was thought that helper T cells and cytotoxic T cells were brought close together by recognizing their antigen on the same cell, and that help was provided by cell-cell contact or the short-range provision of cytokines.

	CD8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a glycoprotein which serves as a co-receptor that is expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells.
		This affinity keeps the T cell receptor of the cytotoxic T cell and the target cell bound closely together during antigen-specific activation.
		Cytotoxic T cells with CD8 surface protein are called CD8+ T cells.

		Each cytotoxic T cell expresses a number of cell surface recognition receptors, which recognition receptors all possess precise specificity for a particular"foreign"peptide sequence, which recognition receptors are adapted to bind to HLA class I molecules expressed on the surface of cells scanned by the T cell.
		HLA class I molecules are cell surface molecules which possess a peptide binding groove exposed on the external surface of the cell, which groove is arranged under normal circumstances to bind a peptide derived from the interior of the cell.
		Cytotoxic T cells of various specificities within a host immune system are also able to recognise and trigger an immunological response against a cell exhibiting an HLA class I molecule which is of a different allotype from the HLA class I molecules of the host cells.

	Cytotoxic T cell Activation, Immunology bookcase, Dalhousie University
		Cytotoxic T cells (Tc) are derived from a lymphocyte stem cell matured in the thymus.
		These cells are characterized by the presence of the CD8 marker on their surface, and an antigen-specific T cell receptor which recognizes antigens in the context of MHC class I. The main role of the cytotoxic T cell, as the name suggests, is to kill other cells.
		The requirement for MHC class I on the target cell means that the Tc cell is very important in recognizing and destroying self-cells that have been altered or infected.

		After an antigen-presenting cell such as a macrophage has ingested and processed an antigen, it presents the antigen fragment, along with a class II marker protein, to a matching helper T cell with a T4 receptor.
		A cytotoxic T cell recognizes antigens such as virus proteins,which are produced within a cell, in combination with a class I self-marker protein.
		With the cooperation of a helper T cell, the cytotoxic T cell matures.

		A lymphocyte (white blood cell) that develops in the bone marrow, matures in the thymus and expresses what appear to be antibody molecules on their surfaces but, unlike B-cells, these molecules cannot be secreted.
		Cells that kill target cells bearing appropriate antigen within the groove of an MHC class I molecule that is identical to that of the T-cell.
		The existance of these cells is a relatively recent discovery and hence their functioning is still somewhat debated.

	T Cell Development
		T cell development occurs in the thymus; the thymic microenvironment directs differentiation as well as positive and negative selection.
		T cell precursors enter the subcapsular cortical areas, where they encounter networks of cortical epithelial calls (the thymic stroma) and undergo a period of proliferation.
		T cells that survive positive selection migrate further into the cortico-medullary junction of the thymus where they encounter macrophages and dendritic cells, bone-marrow derived APC with high expression of MHC-self peptide complexes.
