👉 The term "lymphotoxin" refers to a group of proteins that are released by certain types of immune cells, including T cells and B cells, during an inflammatory response. These proteins act as signaling molecules that help activate other immune cells in the body to respond to an infection or injury. The specific role of lymphotoxins is not fully understood, but they have been implicated in various immune responses, such as the response to a viral infection or an allergic reaction.
