Migration of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes in 3D Collagen Matrices [PDF]
To fulfill their killing functions, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) need to migrate to search for their target cells in complex biological microenvironments, a key component of which is extracellular matrix (ECM). The mechanisms underlying CTL's navigation are not well understood so far.

T-cell cytotoxicity in the absence of viral protein synthesis in target cells [PDF]
CYTOTOXIC T cells lyse only those virus infected target cells in vitro which express, in addition to the viral antigen(s), those K or D region products of the major histocompati-bility complex (MHC) which were present during anti-viral sensitisation in ...

Clinical significance of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells in melanoma [PDF]
Background: Immune markers in the peripheral blood of melanoma patients could provide prognostic information. However, there is currently no consensus on which circulating cell types have more clinical impact.

The 4-1BB receptor is an inducible type I membrane protein and member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily that is rapidly expressed on the surface of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells after antigen- or mitogen-induced activation.

Pulsed voltage cold atmospheric plasma jet and gold nanoparticles enhance cytotoxic anticancer effect [PDF]
Efficient and biologically safe mode of cold atmospheric plasma jet (CAPJ) is crucial for the development of CAPJ-based anticancer therapy. In the experiment and numerical simulations, by changing the pulse duration of a positive-pulsed voltage, we found the optimal CAPJ mode with regular streamer propagation.

Stochastic model of T Cell repolarization during target elimination (I) [PDF]
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T) and natural killer (NK) cells are the main cytotoxic killer cells of the human body to eliminate pathogen-infected or tumorigenic cells (i.e. target cells). Once a NK or T cell has identified a target cell, they form a tight contact zone, the immunological synapse (IS).

Single-cell characterization of leukemic and non-leukemic immune repertoires in CD8(+) T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]
T cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of mature, clonally expanded T cells, where somatic-activating STAT3 mutations are common.

Estimation of In-Vitro Free Radical Scavenging and Cytotoxic Activities of Thiocarbohydrazones Derivatives [PDF]
Objective: To investigate free radical scavenging potential of thiocarbohydrazones derivatives for the discovery of antioxidant compounds of synthetic origin. Method: Eighteen thiocarbohydrazones derivatives were screened for antioxidant activities by using in vitro radical inhibition assay.

Discrete and continuum models for the coevolutionary dynamics between CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes and tumour cells [PDF]
We present an individual-based model for the coevolutionary dynamics between CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and tumour cells. In this model, every cell is viewed as an individual agent whose phenotypic state is modelled by a discrete variable. For tumour cells this variable represents a parameterisation of the antigen expression profiles, while ...
