Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) help control virus infections by killing virus-infected (target) cells. How fast do CTL find and kill target cells in vivo? Experiments allow us to follow populations of labeled target cells after their transfer into immune mice where they are killed by CTL. Here, we develop models of the migration and killing processes involved in these experiments and use them to...
Conventional cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that express the CD8 co-receptor alongside their clonally distributed receptor for antigen are superbly equipped to eliminate virus-infected cells. They recognize short peptide fragments of intracellular pathogens which are brought to the surface of the infected cell in the groove of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded class I molecules...
We compared the cytotoxic activities of thymus-dependent and thymus-independent CD8(+) T cells. Thymus-dependent CD8(+) T cells, which are foreign antigen specific, acquired cytotoxic activity to tumor cells with a basal dose of the antigen peptides and to hybridoma cells expressing anti-TCR mAb only after differentiation into effector cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). In contrast, thymus-independ...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs)/cancer-initiating cells (CICs) are characterized as a small population of cancer cells that have high tumor-initiating ability. CSCs/CICs are resistant to several cancer therapies, and eradication of CSCs/CICs is essential to cure cancer. How can we eradicate CSCs/CICs? Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) might be a promising answer.
Using H-2Kd-restricted photoprobe-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones, which permit assessment of T cell receptor (TCR)-ligand interactions by TCR photoaffinity labeling, we observed that the efficiency of antigen recognition by CTL was critically dependent on the half-life of TCR-ligand complexes. We show here that antigen recognition by CTL is essentially determined by the frequency ...
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) delivers inhibitory signals to activated T cells. CTLA4 is constitutively expressed on regulatory CD4(+) T cells (Tregs), but its role in these cells remains unclear. CTLA4 blockade has been shown to induce antitumor immunity. In this study, we examined the effects of anti-CTLA4 antibody on the endogenous CD4(+) T cells in cancer patients. We ...
