Question #1 Cytotoxic granules released from cytotoxic T cells contain proteins that enter target cells and induce apoptosis. Do any of the mechanisms of apoptosis induction by cytotoxic effector T cells rely on the protein APAF-1? If so, which pathway?  Question #2 Cytotoxic T cells are rapid killers of infected target cells. Within minutes of the interaction of a cytotoxic T cell with a target cell, the program of apoptosis in the target cell is initiated. This rapid activity is a consequence of: The expression and packaging of perforin and granzymes in cytotoxic granules prior to target cell encounter The extremely rapid production of granzymes and perforin by cytotoxic effector cells upon encountering a target cell The extremely potent activity of perforins in poking holes in target cell membranes allowing entry of granzymes

Immunology

Immunology is the division of science involved with the immune reactions occurring in living organisms. The organisms are accustomed to evolving internal defense mechanisms to evade the invasion of microbial pathogens. Diverse cells are connected with stimulating the immune responses, which produce inhospitable conditions to the microbes prompting their lysis and thus inhibits the multiplication of the pathogens. The immune system can distinguish the pathogens through the aid of cellular intercommunication and launch responses to destroy them.
