Mais la cytotoxicité peut être aussi le fait de cellules agressives, [...] si bien qu'on est amené à des formulations [...] de la cytotoxicité cellulaire [...] où le préfixe cyto désigne la cellule cible et l'adjectif cellulaire la cellule agressive; par exemple lymphocytoxicité, où lympho- concerne le lymphocyte cytotoxique, et cyto- la cellule victime de cette cytotoxité. 2, record 1, French, - cytotoxicit%C3%A9
