A20 controls macrophage to elicit potent cytotoxic CD4(+) T cell response. [PDF]
Emerging evidence indicates that CD4(+) T cells possess cytotoxic potential for tumor eradication and perforin/granzyme-mediated cytotoxicity functions as one of the important mechanisms for CD4(+) T cell-triggered cell killing.

NKG7 Enhances CD8+ T Cell Synapse Efficiency to Limit Inflammation
Cytotoxic lymphocytes are essential for anti-tumor immunity, and for effective responses to cancer immunotherapy. Natural killer cell granule protein 7 (NKG7) is expressed at high levels in cytotoxic lymphocytes infiltrating tumors from patients treated ...

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

CD8+ T Cells in Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerotic lesions are populated by cells of the innate and adaptive immune system, including CD8+ T cells. The CD8+ T cell infiltrate has recently been characterized in mouse and human atherosclerosis and revealed activated, cytotoxic, and possibly

Negative and positive selection of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes affected by the α3 domain of MHC I molecules [PDF]
THE α1 and α2 domains of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules function in the binding and presentation of foreign peptides to the T-cell antigen receptor and control both negative and positive selection of the T-cell repertoire ...

Fighting viral infections and virus-driven tumors with cytotoxic CD4+ T cells [PDF]
CD4+ T cells have been and are still largely regarded as the orchestrators of immune responses, being able to differentiate into distinct T helper cell populations based on differentiation signals, transcription factor expression, cytokine secretion, and

The role of cytotoxic T cells [PDF]
The development of anti-HIV T cell-based vaccines is a current major objective in the strategy to halt AIDS pandemic. For this purpose the understanding of the mechanisms underlying effective HIV-specific CD8+ T cell responses is of great importance. One of the most appealing models for such efficient responses is found today in HIV controllers (HICs),

Generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells in vitro II. Induction requirements with functionally inactivated virus preparations [PDF]
Using noninfectious Sendai virus preparations after selective enzymatic digestion of either of the two viral envelope glycoproteins, it was possible to study the effect of different virion-cell membrane interactions on virus-specific cytotoxic T ...
