Resistance of cytotoxic T lymphocytes to lysis by a clone of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1987 To investigate how cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) avoid killing themselves when they destroy target cells, we compared 20 different cell lines as target cells, including several CTL cell lines, for their susceptibility to lysis by CTL. Variations in recognition of this diverse set of target cells was circumvented by attaching to all of them a monoclonal

High Glucose Enhances Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte-Mediated Cytotoxicity [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are key players to eliminate tumorigenic or pathogen-infected cells using lytic granules (LG) and Fas ligand (FasL) pathways. Depletion of glucose leads to severely impaired cytotoxic function of CTLs. However, the impact of excessive glucose on CTL functions still remains largely unknown.

Cytotoxicity of lymphocytes in the newborn. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1981 Antibody-dependent, phytohaemagglutinin-induced, and spontaneous cytotoxicity was studied in 44 term and 60 preterm newborn babies, all of whom were healthy and of normal weight for gestational age. Twenty-seven adults were used as controls. Antibody-dependent cytotoxicity was low in term babies particularly in the preterm ones during the first 4 days ...

Dynamics of cytotoxic T–lymphocyte exhaustion [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998 We examine simple mathematical models to investigate the circumstances under which the dynamics of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activation and differentiation may result in the loss of virus specific CD8+ cells, a process known as CTL exhaustion. We distinguish between two general classes of viruses: (i) viruses infecting cells that are not involved in

Migration of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes in 3D Collagen Matrices [PDF]
, 2020 To fulfill their killing functions, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) need to migrate to search for their target cells in complex biological microenvironments, a key component of which is extracellular matrix (ECM). The mechanisms underlying CTL's navigation are not well understood so far.

Discrete-Time System of an Intracellular Delayed HIV Model with CTL Immune Response [PDF]
, 2022 In [Math. Comput. Sci. 12 (2018), no. 2, 111--127], a delayed model describing the dynamics of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) with Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) immune response is investigated by Allali, Harroudi and Torres. Here, we propose a discrete-time version of that model, which includes four nonlinear difference equations describing the

Discrete and continuum models for the coevolutionary dynamics between CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes and tumour cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We present an individual-based model for the coevolutionary dynamics between CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and tumour cells. In this model, every cell is viewed as an individual agent whose phenotypic state is modelled by a discrete variable. For tumour cells this variable represents a parameterisation of the antigen expression profiles, while ...

Immunobiology, 1984 The phenotype of lymphocytes, obtained from mice immunized with allogeneic tumor cells, with the capacity to induce macrophage cytotoxicity was determined. Macrophage cytotoxicity was induced, either by incubating the macrophages with Macrophage Arming Factor (MAF) containing supernatants of cultures of sensitized lymphocytes and tumor cells (arming ...

Stochastic model of T Cell repolarization during target elimination (II) [PDF]
, 2021 Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T cells) and natural killer cells form a tight contact, the immunological synapse (IS), with target cells, where they release their lytic granules containing perforin/granzyme and cytokine containing vesicles. During this process the cell repolarizes and moves the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) towards the IS.

Stochastic model of T Cell repolarization during target elimination (I) [PDF]
, 2020 Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T) and natural killer (NK) cells are the main cytotoxic killer cells of the human body to eliminate pathogen-infected or tumorigenic cells (i.e. target cells). Once a NK or T cell has identified a target cell, they form a tight contact zone, the immunological synapse (IS).
