In cell biology, an effector cell is any of various types of cell that actively responds to a stimulus and effects some change (brings it about).
Examples of effector cells include:
The muscle, gland or organ cell capable of responding to a stimulus at the terminal end of an efferent nerve fiber
Plasma cell, an effector B cell in the immune system
Effector T cells, T cells that actively respond to a stimulus
Cytokine-induced killer cells, strongly productive cytotoxic effector cells that are capable of lysing tumor cells[1]
Microglia, a glial effector cell that reconstructs the Central nervous system after a bone marrow transplant[2]
Fibroblast, a cell that is most commonly found within connective tissue[3]
Mast cell, the primary effector cell involved in the development of asthma[4]
