Leukocytes responsible for killing intracellular viruses are
A) Fixed Macrophages
B) Basophils
C) Granulocytes
D) Natural Killer cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural Killer cells are leukocytes responsible for killing intracellular viruses. They recognize infected cells and induce apoptosis, leading to their destruction. Fixed macrophages are stationary cells found in tissues and organs, but they are not specifically responsible for killing intracellular viruses. Basophils and granulocytes are leukocytes that primarily respond to allergic reactions and parasitic infections, but do not play a significant role in killing intracellular viruses.
