cytotoxic lymphocyte

In this way, it governs the action of cytotoxic lymphocytes.

Three groups of cytotoxic lymphocytes are distinguished:

A "killer effector molecule" has been identified that may play a role in the activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes.

Natural killer cells (or NK cells) are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system.

The new vaccine seems to work where others failed because it stimulates a type of immune cell, called a cytotoxic lymphocyte, that previous vaccines had not engaged.

Alternatively, macrophages and other cytotoxic lymphocytes consume or destroy cells by apoptotic signaling and present self-antigens.

This shows that sfgl2 largely inhibits the Th1 type response needed to activate cytotoxic lymphocytes to clear HCV infections.

GPR56 has been shown to a marker for inflammatory NK cell subsets and to be expressed by cytotoxic lymphocytes.

Another novel application of CFSE is its use for the in vitro and in vivo determination of cytotoxic lymphocytes.

Yet another mystery is why many people with cytotoxic lymphocytes directed against many H.I.V. epitopes still go on to develop AIDS.

In experiments, the canarypox vaccine has protected primates and produces two important types of immune responses: neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic lymphocytes, which are specialized white blood cells.

It is unknown what aspects of the natural immune response to HIV may protect someone from superinfection, but it has been shown that cytotoxic lymphocyte responses do not seem to be protective.

Subunit beta of interleukin 12 (also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor 2, or cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 2, p40) (human gene name IL12B) is a subunit of human interleukin 12.

Mizutani Y, Yoshida O. Activation by the protein-bound polysaccharide PSK (krestin) of cytotoxic lymphocytes that act on fresh autologous tumor cells and T24 human urinary bladder transitional carcinoma cell line in patients with urinary bladder cancer.

Dr. Bryson said members of her team intended to do a number of immunologic tests on blood cells known as cytotoxic lymphocytes on the baby and mother, which they had not had time to do, in an attempt to understand how the immune system might work to fight off H.I.V.
