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 * Microglia, a glial effector cell that reconstructs the Central nervous system after a bone marrow transplant * Fibroblast, a cell that is most commonly found within connective tissue * Mast cell, the primary effector cell involved in the development of asthma
