is a pathway that would lead to the activation of cytotoxic t cells?

Thymus

Explanation:

T lymphocytes are cells of extreme need for the immune system, primarily dependent on the thymus as a pathway (the "T" derives from the T thymus, in other words, thymus-dependent).

T lymphocytes are divided into different classes, in the case of cytotoxic T cells, they are specialized cells for the recognition of antigens, producing proteins capable of killing foreign cells, cells infected by viruses and in some cases, cancer cells.

Thymus

Explanation:

The T cells is a type of lymphocytes that migrate and mature in the thymus gland. These T cells play major role in immune response.

The T cells arise from the bone marrow and move to thymus gland where it matured.

Cytotoxic t cells is responsible for adaptive cellular immune response.

Cytotoxic t cells are activated by the dendritic cells that expresses antigen loaded class 1 molecules.

cell regulation is conducted by special proteins.
