CD39 molecule: a negative regulator expressed on T cells in patients with lung adenocarcinoma
Introduction The function of cytotoxic cells may be impacted by CD39 expression on CD8-positive T lymphocytes, leading to an imbalance in tumor immunity.

Population growth and control in stochastic models of cancer development [PDF]
We study the joint effect of thermal bath fluctuations and an external noise tuning activity of cytotoxic cells on the triggered immune response in a growing cancerous tissue. The immune response is assumed to be primarily mediated by effector cells that develop a cytotoxic activity against the abnormal tissue.

Adoptive cancer immunotherapy using DNA-demethylated T helper cells as antigen-presenting cells
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 ...

Toxicity profiling of engineered nanomaterials via multivariate dose-response surface modeling [PDF]
New generation in vitro high-throughput screening (HTS) assays for the assessment of engineered nanomaterials provide an opportunity to learn how these particles interact at the cellular level, particularly in relation to injury pathways. These types of assays are often characterized by small sample sizes, high measurement error and high dimensionality,

THE FEATURES OF BLOOD IMMUNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH VARIOUS FORMS OF BRUCELLOSIS
. Results of current study have shown that acute brucellosis is characterized by increase of T-helper and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and decrease of phagocytic activity of neutrophyls in the blood.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of a glioma immune interaction model
We report a mathematical model which depicts the spatiotemporal dynamics of glioma cells, macrophages, cytotoxic-T-lymphocytes, immuno-suppressive cytokine TGF-β and immuno-stimulatory cytokine IFN-γ through a system of five coupled reaction-diffusion ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

Dynamic model of HIV infection with immune system response of T-lymphocytes, B-cells and dendritic cells: a review [PDF]
A dynamic model of non-lineal time-dependent ordinary differential equations (ODE) has been applied to the interactions of a HIV infection with the immune system cells. This model has been simplified into two compartments: lymph node and peripheral blood.
