What is the consequence of granzyme entering a target cell?

  • A. Neutralization of toxins
  • B. Activation of apoptosis pathways
  • C. Inhibition of cytokine secretion
  • D. Promotion of antigen presentation
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Granzyme entering a target cell activates apoptosis pathways by inducing cell death. Firstly, granzyme activates caspases leading to cell death. Secondly, it triggers DNA fragmentation and cell shrinkage. Lastly, it enhances membrane blebbing and apoptotic body formation. The other choices are incorrect because granzyme does not neutralize toxins, inhibit cytokine secretion, or promote antigen presentation within a target cell.
