Current Opinion in Immunology, 1991
There are two competing theories to explain the mechanism(s) by which cytolytic T lymphocytes kill target cells: granule exocytosis of a pore-forming protein, and contact-induced internal disintegration. Accumulated evidence supports alternative pathways in lymphocytoxicity, possibly reflecting distinct effector functions expressed by different killer ...

Sensitivity of cytotoxic T cells to T-cell mediated cytotoxicity
Nature, 1974LYMPHOID cells sensitised against alloantigens can lyse in vitro target cells bearing these alloantigens1,2. In most of the experimental systems using in vivo sensitised cells, T cells (thymus-dependent lymphocytes) are both necessary3 and sufficient4,5 for induction of target cell lysis.

Cytotoxic T cells and immunotherapy
Pediatric Radiology, 1998Promising immunotherapies for viral infections and malignancies reflect the successful, rapid translation of laboratory findings into clinical practice. Fletcher et al. [1] present imaging studies of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphomas before and after immunotherapy.

Cytotoxic T cells – Stroma interactions
Bulletin du Cancer, 2011The tumor microenvironment is a complex system playing an important role in tumor development and progression. Besides tumor cells, the tumor microenvironment harbours a variety of host-derived cells, such as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, innate and adaptive immune cells, as well as extracellular matrix (ECM) fibers, cytokines, and other mediators ...

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2008
The induction of adaptive immune responses critically depends on helper signals provided by CD4(+) T cells. These signals not only license antigen presenting cells (APC) to activate naïve CD8(+) T cells leading to the formation of vast numbers of cytotoxic T lymphocytes but also support the differentiation of B cells into immunoglobulin-secreting ...

Human mucosal T-cell cytotoxicity
Gastroenterology, 1988Non-major histocompatibility complex-restricted cytotoxicity triggered by antibodies to the CD3 component of the human T-cell receptor complex is thought to be an indirect measure of in vivo primed cytotoxic T-cell activity. We have used this technique to examine the lytic activity of freshly isolated T cells from noninflamed human colonic mucosa. Anti-

T-cell mediator induction of non-T-cell cytotoxicity
Cellular Immunology, 1976Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the nonspecific lymphocyte cytotoxicity for allogeneic target cells, also termed spontaneous cytotoxicity or background cytotoxicity reported by several investigators studying graft rejection and tumor immunology phenomena.

Tumor Infiltrating T Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
2021Cytotoxicity is the primary function of CD8+ T-cells, also called cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (or CTLs). Quantification of this capacity is of major importance in diagnostic and research tools. While phenotypic characterization of CTLs is frequent and easily performed, their function is indeed more difficult to assess.

Cytotoxic T-cell memory without antigen
Nature, 1994Memory is a hallmark of the immune system and ever since its recognition there has been considerable interest in understanding how immunity is maintained. The current model is that long-term memory is dependent on persistent antigenic stimulation. We report here results that challenge this view and provide evidence that antigen is not essential for the

Cytotoxic T cell (CTL) covers several subtypes, which are CD8+, CD4 and CD4-CD8-. CTL derives from T cell repertoire in lymphoid hematopoietic stem cells. It matures in thymus and is activated in peripheral lymphoid tissues. Effector CTL kills the target cells by 2 ways.
