Heterogeneity of memory T cells in aging

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Immune memory is a requisite and remarkable property of the immune system and is the biological foundation of the success of vaccinations in reducing morbidity from infectious diseases.

Single-cell transcriptomics of human gut T cells identifies cytotoxic CD4+CD8A+ T cells related to mouse CD4 cytotoxic T cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Cytotoxic CD4+ T cells (CD4-CTLs) show the presence of cytolytic granules, which include the enzymes granzyme and perforin. The cells have a pathogenic and protective role in various diseases, including cancer, viral infection, and autoimmune disease. In

Cytotoxic CD4 T cells in the mucosa and in cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
CD4 T cells were initially described as helper cells that promote either the cellular immune response (Th1 cells) or the humoral immune response (Th2 cells).

Prevention of cytotoxic T cell escape using a heteroclitic subdominant viral T cell determinant. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2008
High affinity antigen-specific T cells play a critical role during protective immune responses. Epitope enhancement can elicit more potent T cell responses and can subsequently lead to a stronger memory pool; however, the molecular basis of such ...

Impaired Cytotoxic CD8+ T Cell Response in Elderly COVID-19 Patients

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection induces a T cell response that most likely contributes to virus control in COVID-19 patients but may also induce immunopathology. Until now, the cytotoxic T cell response has not been

Quantifying biomass changes of single CD8+ T cells during antigen specific cytotoxicity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Existing approaches that quantify cytotoxic T cell responses rely on bulk or surrogate measurements which impede the direct identification of single activated T cells of interest.

Potential role of HTLV-1 Tax-specific cytotoxic t lymphocytes expressing a unique t-cell receptor to promote inflammation of the central nervous system in myelopathy associated with HTLV-1

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) infection causes two serious diseases: adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM).

Prostaglandin E2 promotes features of replicative senescence in chronically activated human CD8+ T cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a pleiotropic immunomodulatory molecule, and its free radical catalyzed isoform, iso-PGE2, are frequently elevated in the context of cancer and chronic infection.

In vivo CD8+ T-cell suppression of siv viremia is not mediated by CTL clearance of productively infected cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2010
The CD8+ T-cell is a key mediator of antiviral immunity, potentially contributing to control of pathogenic lentiviral infection through both innate and adaptive mechanisms.

Antigen-specific B cells reactivate an effective cytotoxic T cell response against phagocytosed Salmonella through cross-presentation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: The eradication of facultative intracellular bacterial pathogens, like Salmonella typhi, requires the concerted action of both the humoral immune response and the cytotoxic CD8(+) T cell response.
