Recent advances in our understanding of cytolytic effector mechanisms include the partial
characterization of caspase-independent apoptotic pathways triggered by granzymes, a
realization of the vital importance of perforin and granzymes in the defence against certain
virus infections in vivo and the first description of hereditary immunodeficiency due to
disordered perforin expression in humans.
