Shared determinants between virus-infected and trinitrophenyl-conjugated H-2-identical target cells detected in cell-mediated lympholysis [PDF]
Infection of H-2-identical mice with either lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus, vaccinia virus, or paramyxo (Sendai) virus resulted in the generation of specifically sensitized cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL).

Interfacial actin protrusions mechanically enhance killing by cytotoxic T cells
Cytotoxic T cells use actin-rich protrusions at the immunological synapse to enhance perforin-mediated target cell killing. Zooming in on the kiss of death Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) engage and kill antigen-specific target cells by injecting toxic ...

Cytotoxic CD4+ T cells in cancer: Expanding the immune effector toolbox
SUMMARY Cytotoxic T cells are important effectors of anti-tumor immunity. While tumor killing is ascribed to CD8+ T cell function, pre-clinical and clinical studies have identified intra-tumoral CD4+ T cells that possess cytotoxic programs and can ...

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.

CD8+ T-cell responses in vaccination: Reconsidering targets and function in the context of chronic antigen stimulation [PDF]
Cytotoxic CD8 T cells play important roles in eliminating infected and transformed cells. Owing to their potential for therapeutic applications, significant efforts are dedicated toward developing CD8 T cell-based vaccines.

Background & Aims Immunotherapies are ineffective against pancreatic cancer. We investigated whether the activity of nuclear factor (NF)κB in pancreatic stromal cells contributes to an environment that suppresses anti-tumor immune response.

Background. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy is promising for locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The in situ immune patterns, as a predictor of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade outcomes, of the primary tumor (PT) and metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) are ...

Lysis mediated by T cells and restricted by H-2 antigen of target cells infected with vaccinia virus [PDF]
VARIOUS virus infections lead to the formation of cytotoxic lymphocytes (CL), which are capable of killing virus-infected target cells1−4. Specific lysis of target cells infected with 51Cr-labelled vaccinia virus could be observed when investigating the ...

Cytotoxic T cells use mechanical force to potentiate target cell killing
SUMMARY The immunological synapse formed between a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and an infected or transformed target cell is a physically active structure capable of exerting mechanical force.

Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in cancer and cancer immunotherapy
The functions of, and interactions between, the innate and adaptive immune systems are vital for anticancer immunity. Cytotoxic T cells expressing cell-surface CD8 are the most powerful effectors in the anticancer immune response and form the backbone of
