I've added studied examples of effector cells and cited the articles that accompanied the studies. This will strengthen the original page's suggestion that effector cells can vary. |

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 responds 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]
