Characterisation of CD8neg and CD8+ human natural killer cell subsets [PDF]
NK cells are CD3neg CD56+ lymphocytes that constitute about 10-15% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. They have an innate ability to recognise and kill virus infected cells and tumour cells.

Dual function of the NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) in the regulation of HCV-specific CD8+ T cells [PDF]
The outcome of viral infections is dependent on the function of CD8+ T cells which are tightly regulated by costimulatory molecules. The NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the Ig superfamily which can also be expressed ...

Non-hematopoietic cells in lymph nodes drive memory CD8 T cell inflation during murine cytomegalovirus infection. [PDF]
During human and murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection an exceptionally large virus-specific CD8 T cell pool is maintained in the periphery lifelong.

Human memory CD8+ T-cells exhibit an intrinsic metabolic advantage as reflected by increased mitochondrial functionality and high glycolytic potential [PDF]
Intrinsic differences between na•ve and memory CD8+ T-cells affect both quality and quantity of cognate antigen response. Cellular immune function and metabolic pathways are closely linked.

Splenic CD8(+) T cells secrete TGF-beta 1 to exert suppression in mice with anterior chamber-associated immune deviation [PDF]
Background CD8(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) have been considered to be involved in a model of ocular-induced tolerance, known as anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID).

Swift development of protective effector functions in naive CD8(+) T cells against malaria liver stages. [PDF]
We generated T cell receptor transgenic mice specific for the liver stages of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii and studied the early events in the development of in vivo effector functions in antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells.

Characterization of CD8 T cell responses in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis infection [PDF]
The aim of this project was to compare the breadth and magnitude of CFP10 and ESAT6-specific CD8 T cell responses in individuals with latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection (LTBI) and active TB disease, and further define MTB-specific CD8 T ...

Escaping high viral load exhaustion: CD8 cells with altered tetramer binding in chronic hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]
Deletion, anergy, and a spectrum of functional impairments can affect virus-specific CD8 cells in chronic viral infections. Here we characterize a low frequency population of CD8 cells present in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection which survive in

Coixenolide Enhances Antitumor Immunity of Cytotoxic CD8<sup>+</sup> T Cells by Inhibiting S100A8/A9-CD36 Axis in Obesity-Associated Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) remains highly lethal with limited treatment options. This study demonstrates that coixenolide, a bioactive compound from Coix lacryma‐jobi L. and a key component of the clinically approved Kanglaite injection, exhibits enhanced antitumor efficacy in high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obese mice bearing PAAD tumors compared to

Avidity of influenza-specific memory CD8+ T-cell populations decays over time compromising antiviral immunity [PDF]
Decline of cell-mediated immunity is often attributed to decaying T-cell numbers and their distribution in peripheral organs. This study examined the hypothesis that qualitative as well as quantitative changes contribute to the declining efficacy of CD8+
