Efficient lysis of rhabdomyosarcoma cells by cytokine-induced killer cells : implications for adoptive immunotherapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation [PDF]
Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and has a poor prognosis. Here we assessed the capability of ex vivo expanded cytokine-induced killer cells to lyse both alveolar and embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines ...

Predominant utilization of V beta 8+ T cell receptor genes in the H-2Ld- restricted cytotoxic T cell response against the immediate-early protein pp89 of the murine cytomegalovirus [PDF]
Cytotoxic T cell responses to the murine Cytomegalovirus (MCMV) were elicited in BALB/c mice (H-2d) by infectious virus. Eight days after infection, MCMV-primed local lymph node T cells were either depleted for T cells expressing a V beta 8+ TCR or ...

Role of tumor architecture in elicitation of effector functions of human cytotoxic T-lymphocytes recognizing melanoma associated antigens [PDF]
Growth in 3D architectures has been shown to promote the resistance of cancers to treatment with drugs, cytokines, or irradiation, thereby potentially playing an important role in tumor expansion.

De Novo generation of escape Variant-specific CD8+ T-Cell responses following Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte escape in chronic Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) evades CD8+ T-cell responses through mutations within targeted epitopes, but little is known regarding its ability to generate de novo CD8+ T-cell responses to such mutants.

Type I IFNs contribute to upregulation of PD-L1 during Chlamydia trachomatis infection
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that if left untreated can cause reproductive harm. Failure of natural adaptive immunity results in chronic and repeat infections.

CD8+ T-cell responses to Theileria parva are preferentially directed to a single dominant antigen:Implications for parasite strain-specific immunity [PDF]
Although immunodominance of CD8(+) T-cell responses is a well-recognised feature of viral infections, its role in responses to more antigenically complex pathogens is less clear.

CD160Ig fusion protein targets a novel costimulatory pathway and prolongs allograft survival. [PDF]
CD160 is a cell surface molecule expressed by most NK cells and approximately 50% of CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Engagement of CD160 by MHC class-I directly triggers a costimulatory signal to TCR-induced proliferation, cytokine production and ...

Cytotoxic CD4+ T Cells Drive Multiple Sclerosis Progression
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading cause of chronic neurological disability in young adults. The clinical disease course of MS varies greatly between individuals, with some patients progressing much more rapidly than others, making prognosis almost ...
