The paper discusses in great detail the cell-mediated cytotoxicity reaction in immunology. It consists of two steps: hitting the target and its subsequent lysis, or disintegration, by lymphocytes. Various stochastic models for the kinematics of these two processes and their amalgamation are proposed and fitted to some experimental data. It is shown how such models may be applied as a tool to draw inferences from empirical observations regarding the mechanisms of the immune response.
