Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytotoxic T cells are the subset of T cells that are capable of directly killing infected or cancerous cells. They recognize specific antigens presented on the surface of these abnormal cells and release chemicals that cause their destruction. Helper T cells, memory T cells, and plasma T cells all play important roles in the immune response but do not have direct cytotoxic activity.
