Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytotoxic T cells, also known as CD8+ T cells, can recognize and destroy infected cells by releasing toxic substances that cause the cell to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death). This helps to limit the spread of the infection within the body. Macrophages, mast cells, and B cells also play important roles in the immune response, but they do not directly destroy infected cells in the same way that cytotoxic T cells do.
