CD8+ T cells, also known as "killer cells", are cytotoxic which means that:

1.  they determine if and how other parts of the immune system respond to a specific, perceived threat.
2.  they are able to directly kill virus-infected cells as well as cancer cells.
3.  they differentiate plasma cells that release chemicals to kill cancer cells.
4.  provide the critical mechanism of tolerance.
