La cytotoxicité peut résulter de l'activité d'anticorps dirigés contre les antigènes dont la cellule est porteuse, en présence de complément. 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

Mécanisme d'action des toxiques. L'étude de la toxicité d'une substance chimique doit viser non seulement à préciser les signes cliniques et biologiques d'intoxication, mais aussi à définir son mécanisme d'action, c'est-à-dire à découvrir la lésion biochimique initiale responsable des perturbations physiologiques et anatomopathologiques observées au cours de l'intoxication. 3, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9canisme%20d%27action%20toxique
