Killer T Cells _______

Question

Killer T cells _______.
A) produce antibodies
B) develop into plasma cells
C) migrate to the infected area and release enzymes that destroy pathogens
D) produce large clones of cells

Accepted Answer

Killer T cells are a type of white blood cell that can identify and bind to infected or cancerous cells. Once bound, they release enzymes known as cytokines that destroy the cell. This helps limit the spread of the infection or tumor. Killer T cells do not produce antibodies, develop into plasma cells, or produce large clones of cells.
