linfocito T citotóxico
Scope note: Linfocitos T inmunizados que pueden destruir directamente a células diana apropiadas. Estos linfocitos citotóxicos pueden generarse in vitro en cultivos mixtos de linfocitos (MLC, siglas en inglés), in vivo durante una reacción de injerto contra huésped (GVH, siglas en inglés), o después de la inmunización con un aloinjerto, célula tumoral o célula diana modificada químicamente o transformada por virus. El fenómeno lítico algunas veces se denomina linfolisis mediada por células (CML, siglas en inglés). Estas células CD8-positivas son diferentes de las CÉLULAS ASESINAS NATURALES y de las CÉLULAS T ASESINAS NATURALES. Existen dos fenotipos efectores: TC1 y TC2.

Scope note: Immunized T-lymphocytes which can directly destroy appropriate target cells. These cytotoxic lymphocytes may be generated in vitro in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), in vivo during a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, or after immunization with an allograft, tumor cell or virally transformed or chemically modified target cell. The lytic phenomenon is sometimes referred to as cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). These CD8-positive cells are distinct from NATURAL KILLER CELLS and NATURAL KILLER T-CELLS. There are two effector phenotypes: TC1 and TC2.
