Comparative Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles from Cytotoxic CD8+ αβ T Cells and γδ T Cells
Background: Although belonging to different branches of the immune system, cytotoxic CD8+ αβ T cells and γδ T cells utilize common cytolytic effectors including FasL, granzymes, perforin and granulysin.

The immune system is a complex arrangement of cells and molecules that preserve the integrity of the organism by elimination of all elements judged dangerous. Within the immune system, a humoral and a cellular as well as an innate and an adaptive arm can be differentiated.

Cytotoxic T cells and mycobacteria [PDF]
How the immune system kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis is still a puzzle. The classical picture of killing due to phagocytosis by activated macrophages may be only partly correct. Based on recent evidence, we express here the view that cytotoxic T lymphocytes also make an important contribution and suggest that DNA vaccines might be a good way to ...

Oligoclonal expansions of CD8(+) T cells in chronic HIV infection are antigen specific [PDF]
Acute HIV infection is associated with a vigorous immune response characterized by the proliferation of selected T cell receptor V beta (BV)-expressing CD8(+) T cells.

The beta2 integrin CD11c distinguishes a subset of cytotoxic pulmonary T cells with potent antiviral effects in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Background The integrin CD11c is known as a marker for dendritic cells and has recently been described on T cells following lymphotropic choriomeningitis virus infection, a systemic infection affecting a multitude of organs.

Quantitative phosphoproteomics of cytotoxic T cells to reveal Protein Kinase D 2 regulated networks [PDF]
The focus of the present study was to characterize the phosphoproteome of cytotoxic T cells and to explore the role of the serine threonine kinase PKD2 (Protein Kinase D2) in the phosphorylation networks of this key lymphocyte population.

Maintenance of Functional CD57+ Cytolytic CD4+ T Cells in HIV+ Elite Controllers
Cytolytic CD4+ T cells play a prominent role in chronic viral infection. CD4+ CTLs clones specific for HIV-1 Nef and Gag are capable of killing HIV-1 infected CD4+ T cells and macrophages.

Direct evidence that leukemic cells present HLA-associated immunogenic peptides derived from the BCR-ABL b3a2 fusion protein [PDF]
The BCR-ABL oncogene is central in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Here, tandem nanospray mass spectrometry was used to demonstrate cell surface HLA- associated expression of the BCR-ABL peptide KQSSKALQR on class I-negative CIVIL ...
