Ever wondered how your immune system's elite assassins, the cytotoxic T cells, pinpoint and eliminate infected or cancerous cells? This video delves into the intricate molecular mechanisms that allow these crucial defenders to distinguish between healthy cells and dangerous targets.

In this explanation, we uncover:
► The role of MHC Class I molecules in presenting internal cellular peptides on the cell surface.
► How cytotoxic T cells use their T-cell receptors (TCRs) to 'scan' and recognize specific antigen-MHC complexes.
► The critical co-stimulatory signals and accessory proteins involved in fully activating a cytotoxic T cell's killing function.
► The precise steps by which activated cytotoxic T cells induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in their identified target cells.
