HUMAN CYTOMEGALOVIRUS-SPECIFIC CYTO-TOXIC T-CELLS - RELATIVE FREQUENCY OF STAGE-SPECIFIC CTL RECOGNIZING THE 72-KD IMMEDIATE EARLY PROTEIN AND GLYCOPROTEIN-B EXPRESSED BY RECOMBINANT VACCINIA VIRUSES [PDF]
CTL are held to be an important host defense mechanism in persistent herpes-virus infections. We have therefore studied the nature and specificity of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-specific CTL in normal persistently infected individuals. This was achieved

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes
PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...
