Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor the human immunodeficiency ...

Naïve CD8 T cells can change into different types of effector and memory CD8 T cells when the immune system responds to ...

The researchers also observed that APCs deliver telomeres to some T cells and not others, although it’s not clear why. Using Flow-FISH, an assay that counts cells and analyzes their telomere length ...

Part of the body’s natural defense system against cancer involves dendritic cells taking up tumor-derived proteins and presenting them to antigen naive CD8+ T cells present in lymph nodes. The ...

A recent Cell Reports paper by the Oxenius group (IMB) demonstrates a function of targeted centrosome inheritance during CD8 + T cell division for the generation of memory precursor cells.

CD8-positive T cells are a critical subpopulation of MHC class I-restricted T cell and are mediators of adaptive immunity. They include cytotoxic T cells, which are important for killing cancerous ...
