Endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: In this study we have examined human vascular endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Vascular endothelial cells (EC) act as the major interface between blood and tissues and are crucial for the ...

Diminished Frequencies of Cytotoxic Marker Expressing T- and NK Cells at the Site of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBL) individuals exhibit reduced frequencies of CD8+ T cells expressing cytotoxic markers in peripheral blood. However, the frequencies of cytotoxic marker expressing CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells at the site of infection is

A20 controls macrophage to elicit potent cytotoxic CD4(+) T cell response. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
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.

Swift development of protective effector functions in naive CD8(+) T cells against malaria liver stages. [PDF]

, 2001
We generated T cell receptor transgenic mice specific for the liver stages of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii and studied the early events in the development of in vivo effector functions in antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells.

Differential Cytotoxic Function of Resident and Non-resident CD8+ T Cells in the Human Female Reproductive Tract Before and After Menopause

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The functional characterization and regulation of tissue resident and non-resident CD8+ T cells in the human female reproductive tract (FRT) as women age remains a gap in our knowledge.

CCR6 and CXCR6 Identify the Th17 Cells With Cytotoxicity in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Due to the plasticity of IL-17-producing CD4 T cells (Th17 cells), a long-standing challenge in studying Th17-driven autoimmune is the lack of specific surface marker to identify the pathogenic Th17 cells in vivo.

Regulatory T-Cells Suppress Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses against Microglia

Cells, 2022
Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play pivotal roles during infection, cancer, and autoimmunity. In our previous study, we demonstrated a role for the PD-1:PD-L1 pathway in controlling cytolytic responses of CD8+ T lymphocytes against microglial cells ...

Adjuvant activity of ethanol extract of Hippophae rhamnoides leaves with inactivated rabies virus antigen

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2018
Context: Hippophae rhamnoides L. (Elaeagnaceae), commonly known as seabuckthorn (SBT), is known for its medicinal and nutritional properties. Objective: Evaluation of in vivo adjuvant activity of SBT leaf extract (SBTE) with inactivated rabies virus ...

Selection, transmission, and reversion of an antigen-processing cytotoxic T-lymphocyte escape mutation in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 infection [PDF]

, 2004
Numerous studies now support that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) evolution is influenced by immune selection pressure, with population studies showing an association between specific HLA alleles and mutations within defined cytotoxic T ...

Characterization of human cytomegalovirus peptide-specific CD8⁺ T-cell repertoire diversity following in vitro restimulation by antigen-pulsed dendritic cells [PDF]

, 2002
Under conditions of impaired T-cell immunity, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can reactivate from lifelong latency, resulting in potentially fatal disease.
