The immune system is a complex arrangement of cells and molecules that preserve the integrity of the organism by elimination of all elements judged dangerous. Within the immune system, a humoral and a cellular as well as an innate and an adaptive arm can be differentiated.

Controversies concerning thymus-derived regulatory T cells: fundamental issues and a new perspective [PDF]
Thymus-derived regulatory T cells (Tregs) are considered to be a distinct T-cell lineage that is genetically programmed and specialised for immunosuppression.

MicroRNAs affecting the susceptibility of melanoma cells to CD8+ T cell‐mediated cytolysis
Background The regulatory functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) in anti‐tumour immunity have been mainly described in immune effector cells. Since little is known about miRNA effects on the susceptibility of target cells during T cell—target cell interaction ...

Controlling the Immune Suppressor: Transcription Factors and MicroRNAs Regulating CD73/NT5E
The NT5E (CD73) molecule represents an ecto-5′-nucleotidase expressed on the cell surface of various cell types. Hydrolyzing extracellular adenosine monophosphate into adenosine and inorganic phosphate, NT5E performs numerous homeostatic functions in ...

Understanding the mechanisms underlying how T cells become dysfunctional in a tumor microenvironment (TME) will greatly benefit cancer immunotherapy. We found that increased CD36 expression in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, which was induced by TME ...

Destabilizing the autoinhibitory conformation of Zap70 induces up-regulation of inhibitory receptors and T cell unresponsiveness. [PDF]
Zap70 plays a critical role in normal T cell development and T cell function. However, little is known about how perturbation of allosteric autoinhibitory mechanisms in Zap70 impacts T cell biology.

Tethering of vesicles to the Golgi by GMAP210 controls LAT delivery to the immune synapse
The immune synapse at the interface between T cells and antigen-presenting cells manifests intense vesicular trafficking, but how the vesicles are sorted is still unclear.

Peptide Super-Agonist Enhances T-Cell Responses to Melanoma
Recent immunotherapeutic approaches using adoptive cell therapy, or checkpoint blockade, have demonstrated the powerful anti-cancer potential of CD8 cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL).

T Cell Hybrids with T Cell Functions
Different T cell functions, e.g. help, suppression and cytotoxicity are associated with different T cell subsets, bearing distinctive differentiation markers. Thus effector T cells mediating help are Ly 1+2−3− and may bear Ia determinants, those mediating suppression are Ly 1−2+3+, IJ+, and cytotoxic cells are Ly 1−2+3+ and do not bear Ia determinants (
