Zytotoxische-T-Lymphozyten (CTL)-vermittelte Zytolyse bei der HIV-Infektion
… HIV-spezifische zytotoxische T-Lymphozyten (CTL) bewirkt wird, untersucht. Grundsätzlich erscheinen in der Abwehr viraler Infekte sowohl CD4+ wie CD8+ CTL. In chronisch HIV-Infizierten sind in der Regel lediglich CD8+ CTL zu finden. HIV-spezifische CD4+ CTL können aber zum Beispiel in …

How TCR signal strength controls CTL polarisation for target killing
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are major effector cells in the adaptive immune response against intracellular pathogens and cancers, killing targets with high precision. Precision is achieved through the specificity of the clonally expressed T cell receptor (TCR). TCRs recognise a specific peptide …

THE CRITICAL ROLE OF CD4+ TH CELLS IN CD8+ CTL RESPONSES AND ANTI-TUMOR IMMUNITY
… provide help for CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in different immunization types. The establishment of diseases, such as chronic infections and cancers, is attributed to severe loss of or dysfunctions of CD4+ T cells. Even in acute infections, CD4+ T cell deficiency leads to poor …

The identification of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) escape in a large, longitudinal subtype C HIV-1 sequence dataset
… rapidly escapes cytotoxic T-cell lymphocyte (CTL) immune responses exerted by the host. Mutation patterns and HLA associated footprints linked to viral escape have been identified, making it possible to use viral sequence data, combined with the host HLA allele information, to predict escape. …

Impact of Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte (CTL) escape mutations in acute/Early HIV-1 Subtype C Infection on Disease Progression
… strong anti-HIV cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. Evolved evasion mutations that undermine host immune responses pose a major challenge to the development of such vaccines. Understanding the mechanisms that selectively favour the emergence of CTL evasion mutations in vivo and the …

Characterization of an IL-12-driven Anticancer Response, and the CD4+ CTL Population Incited, in a Murine Model of Leukaemia
For the treatment of cancer, immunotherapy has some inherent advantages over other treatment modalities: disseminated disease can be eradicated due to the systemic nature of immunity, the immune system is effective against a wide range of targets, long-term memory can offer added protection against …

Identifying regulators of cytotoxic T cell function through molecular and genetic screening
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are crucial components of the adaptive immune system that kill infected and tumourigenic cells. CTL killing requires focused secretion of cytotoxic compounds from lytic granules. This process is known as degranulation. In this study, I aimed to establish the …

T lymphocyte responses to equid herpesviruses 1 and 4 in horses
… proliferative and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in the blood of horses. Equine T cell blast cells stimulated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with pokeweed mitogen were found to perform best as targets for CTL in "Cr release assays. CTL induced in vitro with an …

Untersuchung zur Funktion von Cathepsin B in der durch zytotoxische T-Zellen vermittelten Lyse von Tumorzellen
… darauf, dass zytotoxische T-Lymphozyten (CTL) sich selbst vor der Lyse durch ihr eigenes Perforin mittels Expression von Cathepsin B auf der Zelloberfläche schützen. Interessanterweise wird Cathepsin B auch in vielen Tumorzellen vermehrt exprimiert und ist möglicherweise in die …

The role of JAK1 and JAK3 in CD8<sup>+</sup> effector T cells
… IL-2 control of effector CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTL). On the basis of these preliminary data, a detailed analysis of the effect of tofacitinib on effector CD8<sup>+</sup> T lymphocytes was performed. <br/><br/>Phosphorylation events regulated by tofacitinib were identified using mass spectrometry …

Dissecting the interplay between cytotoxic T lymphocytes and the pancreatic cancer stroma
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are key effectors in antitumour immunity, patrolling tissues to detect and destroy cancerous cells by directing cytotoxic granules toward the immunological synapse formed with their target. Although CTL infiltration into solid tumours often correlates with improved …

Respuesta del olivo (cv Arbequina) a riego deficitario bajo condiciones superintensivas en La Rioja
… cinco tratamientos de riego: i) Control (CTL), regado al 100% de la ETc, ii) Riego deficitario controlado con estrés moderado (RDCEM), regado como CTL excepto en la fase II del crecimiento del fruto donde se regó al 50% del CTL; iii) Riego deficitario controlado con estrés severo (RDCES), …

Low-Frequency Sonophoresis Assisted Cancer Immunotherapy
… and maintaining a long-lived potent cellular CTL (Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte) response is of significant interest to the global scientific community. Protection against most intracellular pathogens (e.g., HIV) and tumors require functional CTL immunity and are ineffectively treated by antibodies …

T cell receptor- and calcium-induced Gli signalling in CD8+ T cell effector function
CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are potent effector cells of the immune system, capable of directly lysing neoplastic and infected cells. The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway - a critical regulator of embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance - is induced in CTLs following TCR …

Visualizing the dynamics of HIV-specific cytotoxic T-cells in extracellular matrix
Cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) traffic through tissues in search of antigen and mount protective immune responses against viral infections and cancer. While molecular mechanisms of CTL antiviral effector functions have been established in vitro, they have been defined in the absence of physiological …

Screening for genes involved in CD8⁺ T cell cytotoxicity and characterisation of a super-killer
Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) are cells of the adaptive immune system that are responsible for the elimination of virally infected, tumorigenic or damaged cells through mechanisms that induce target cell lysis. The aim of this project was to identify genes that can impact CTL lytic capacity, using …

Alternate pathways of cytotoxic T lymphocyte and natural killer cell activation
… CD44 expressed on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTls), can trigger the lytic activity of CTls and redirect CTl-mediated lysis to antigen-negative Fc receptor-positive target cells. Similar redirected lysis was also inducible using mAb MEL - 14, directed against the lymphocyte homing receptor for …
