GZMB and infection: While non-cytotoxic functions of Gzms have been described, inducing target cell death appears to be a major function of GzmA and GzmB, and the increased sensitivity of mice lacking these proteins to infection with ectromelia virus (ECTV) and murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) has been attributed to the role of the Gzms in the killing of infected cells [2]–[4].
