Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL)
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are lymphocytes that kill other ("target") cells.
Targets may include: ...
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognize surface markers on othercells in the body that label those cells for destruction. In this way, CTLs help to keep virus-infected or malignant cells in check.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes T cells that trigger cell death by apoptosis in cells that display foreign antigens on class I MHC proteins. Also called killer T cells.
When we talk about lymphocytes, we can separate them into the B-lymphocyte, that makes the antibodies, and the T-lymphocyte, that can then be separated into two different subsets, one that we call CD-4 and one we call CD-8.

The primary hosts for HIV are the white blood cells variously called helper T lymphocytes, helper T cells, or CD4+ T cells.
Cellular immunity is based on the interaction of MHC proteins found on surfaces of circulating cells and T lymphocytes (white blood cells that pass through the thymus gland during maturation).

- A type of leukocyte found in the blood, lymph nodes and certain organs. Lymphocytes are continuously made in the bone marrow (see also B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes).
