A cell which defends against body cells in which viruses are reproducing is

  • A.Exotoxin
  • B.Cytotoxic T cell
  • C.Endotoxin
  • D.
    Suppressor T cell

Answer: B

Correct answer: Cytotoxic T cell

A cytotoxic T cell recognises viral peptides displayed on the infected cell’s MHC class I molecules and kills it - by perforin and granzymes, or by triggering apoptosis - before the virus inside can finish replicating. Suppressor (regulatory) T cells damp responses down instead; exotoxins and endotoxins are bacterial poisons, not cells.
