Question

T cells kill foreign cells by releasing toxic chemicals in the area of the antigen.

Accepted Answer

T cells are part of the body's immune response and are capable of recognizing and selectively targeting foreign antigens (such as those found on viruses or cancer cells). Once activated, T cells release toxic chemicals (such as perforin and granzymes) that can directly kill the target cells.
