Question
which of the following chemicals is released by one type of immune cell to
lysozymes
perforin
granzymes
cytokines
Cytokines are signaling molecules released by immune cells (such as lymphocytes and macrophages) to communicate with other cells and regulate immune responses. Lysosomes are organelles containing lysozymes (enzymes that break down bacteria). Perforin and granzymes are molecules used by cytotoxic T - cells to induce apoptosis in target cells (perforin creates pores, granzymes enter through the pores and activate apoptosis). But the key here is the general signaling role which is characteristic of cytokines.
