  • In contrast, patients with self-reactive cells have significant autoimmune features in addition to their clinical and molecular immunodeficient state. (hindawi.com)
  • Once the graft has escaped the initial acute phase rejection reactions, a cumulative unresponsiveness to the graft develops as the recipient is continually exposed to donor MHC, a stable state that sometimes depends on the development of antigen-specific T-suppressor cells [ 371 , 5349 - 5354 ].

  • We find that during acute infection SARS-CoV-2-specific circulating Tfh (cTfh) cells expand with disease severity. (bvsalud.org)
  • The antigen-presenting cells "train" the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (killer T cells) to recognize and kill the tumor cells using the tumor-associated antigens. (case.edu)
  • Traveling through the blood stream, the activated killer T cells, in turn, recognize the cancer cells (based on the tumor-associated antigen training) and proceed to kill the cancer cells. (case.edu)
