Development of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma in an adult with biallelic STXBP2 mutations [PDF]
Haematologica, 2013 Experimental model systems have delineated an important role for cytotoxic lymphocytes in the immunosurveillance of cancer. In humans, perforin-deficiency has been associated with occurrence of hematologic malignancies.

Adoptive cancer immunotherapy using DNA-demethylated T helper cells as antigen-presenting cells [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 A critical determinant of tumor eradication by adoptive immunotherapy is the tumor associated antigen recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Here the authors generate ex vivo autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes by exposure to antigens induced by DNA ...

Neuroinflammation by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes impairs retrograde axonal transport in an oligodendrocyte mutant mouse. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mice overexpressing proteolipid protein (PLP) develop a leukodystrophy-like disease involving cytotoxic, CD8+ T-lymphocytes. Here we show that these cytotoxic T-lymphocytes perturb retrograde axonal transport.

Killer cell proteases can target viral immediate-early proteins to control human cytomegalovirus infection in a noncytotoxic manner. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most frequent viral cause of congenital defects and can trigger devastating disease in immune-suppressed patients. Cytotoxic lymphocytes (CD8+ T cells and NK cells) control HCMV infection by releasing interferon-γ and ...

The metabolism of cells regulates their sensitivity to NK cells depending on p53 status [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Leukemic cells proliferate faster than non-transformed counterparts. This requires them to change their metabolism to adapt to their high growth. This change can stress cells and facilitate recognition by immune cells such as cytotoxic lymphocytes, which

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes could contribute in COVID-19-induced passing anosmia
Studia Medyczne, 2021 Several clinical reports have demonstrated a spectrum of neurological manifestations of COVID-19 patients with subsequent post-mortem neuropathological findings. The aim of the case description is to show spotty inflammatory lesions in the olfactory bulb,

Cytotoxic Granule Trafficking and Fusion in Synaptotagmin7-Deficient Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are derived from the lysosomal compartment. Synaptotagmin7 (Syt7) appears to be the calcium sensor triggering fusion of lysosomes in fibroblasts. Syt7 has been proposed to control cytotoxic granule (CG) fusion in
