*The cell - mediated cytotoxicity
is an essential defense
against intracellular
pathogens, including viruses,
some bacteria and parasites.
Tumor cells, eukaryotic
pathogens and even cells of
the body, may also become the
target of cytotoxic cells.
* The process is important in the
destruction of allogeneic
tissue grafts. Several types of
cells can execute this activity
including T-cytotoxic (Tc) cells,
Cell-mediated cytotoxicity: The ways in
which leukocytes recognize and destroy other cells.
Tc-cells recognize specific Ag (e.g. viral peptides on
infected cells) presented by MHC-I most Tc are CD8+ve,
but about 10% of MHC-restricted cytotoxic T-cells are CD4+ve
& recognize Ag presented on MHC-II.
NK-cells recognize cells which fail to express MHCI
molecules, they can also bind to Ab already attached to Ag an
a target cell, using their Fc-R (CD16), in a what is known as
AB-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Several
viruses have evolved mechanisms to avoid recognition by Tc
cell. They reduce the expression of MHC molecules or even
produce proteins which divert MHC molecules out of the
endoplasmic reticulum. So NK-cells specifically recognize
cells which have lost their MHC - I molecules.
Tc-cells and NK-cells act in a complementary
way to protect the body.
Mechanisms of cell-mediated
cytotoxicity
Tc, NK- and K-cells use
variety of different
mechanisms to kill their
targets, including: * direct
cell-cell signaling via surface
molecules. *
indirect signaling via cytokines.
in addition many CD8 Tc and large
granular lymphocytes (NK and K-
cells) have granules which contain
proteins that damage target cells if
they are released directly against
the target cell plasma membrane.
•a cytotoxicity which may be signaled via Fas or a TNF-R on
a target cell.
•Tc cells signal to their targets using members of TNF-R
group of molecules. These include Fas (CD95) and the type-1
TNF-R (TNFR-1) which are widely distributed in the
body.Ligation of Fas-induces trimerization of the Fas-
molecule on the cell surface, which causes them to
associate with a transducing molecule which recrutes and
activates caspases 8 and 10.
• For the cytotoxic lymphocytes which lack granules the Fas-
pathway is thought to be the principle means of signaling to
the target.
** Most CD8 TC and NK-cells (and
macrophages) have vesicles containing
TNF and lymphotoxin which can be
released onto a target cells. TNF acts in a
very similar way to the Fas-ligand. It
causes trimerization of the TNFR-1 so that
the receptor associates with adaptor
proteins which recruite caspases. Both
TNFR-1 and Fas containing
intracytoplasmic domains (death-
domains) which are found on a number of
proteins involved in cell survival.
*** The specific granules of NK-cells and Tc contain several
proteins, including perforin and granzymes (granules
associated enzymes). After binding to its target, the Tc cells directs
its granules towards the membrane a joining the target. Then, in a
Ca-dependent phase, the granule contents are discharge into the
cleft between the two cells.
Perforin is a pore-forming proteins and in the presence of
Ca , the perforin bind to the target cell membrane and polymerize
to form transmembrane channels. Tc-protected from
autodestruction with this protein by a proteoglycan (chondroitin-
sulphate A) which may bind to and inactivate the perforin,
thus Tc-survives and can continue kill further targets.
Granzymes are collection of serine estrases (enzymes)
which are also released upon granule exocytosis and become
active after release. Some of these enzyme trigger apoptosis and
DNA-degradation.
Both perforin and granzymes act synergistically; the granzymes
enter the target cells via pore created by perforin.
To summarize the lymphoid
cytotoxic effectors; CD8 Tc use
both Fas- L and granule release to
kill their targets, CD4Tc-cells use
principally FasL, and NK-cells use
primarily their granules.
TNF may contribute to the
cytotoxic damage produced by
any of these cells.
*cytotoxicity may be triggered specifically to a target by
ADCC or may involve a range of non-specific toxic
mediators. Macrophage and neutrophile express Fc-
gR1&2 which allow them to engage their targets by
ADCC.`
** Macrophages and neutrophiles granules which contain
neutrophil defensins, lysosomal enzymes and cytostatic
proteins. If the phagocyte fails to internalize its target,
then these mediators may be released into the
extracellular environment and contribute to localized cell
damage ((frustrated phagocytosis)), the effect of these
mediators tends to produce necrosis and inflammation.

Constituents. They are therefore effective for the
extracellular killing of microorganisms, particularly large
parasites such as schistosoma. The components of the
eosinophil granule include major basic protein (MBP),
eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) and eosinophil cationic
protein (ECP). Other molecules produced by eosinophils
are lysophospholipase and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin
(EDN), which is also a ribonuclease but with strong
neurotoxic activity. Thus, killing may involve contact-
dependent degranulation or may simply require
deposition of toxins within the local tissue.
