What are the ways of killing by cytotoxic T cells?
- Apoptosis (through intracellular signaling)
- Release the contents of granules that damage the cell
Granzyme B
Activate a nuclease that destroys the target cell DNA.
Perforin
Pore-forming proteins that polymerize in the presence of Calcium and form channels in the target cell membrane.
CD2
Involved in T cell activation (Rosette formation).
CD3
Found on all T cells; associated with T-cell antigen receptor.
CD4
Identifies T helper cells; also found on most T regulatory cells.
CD4?
Co-receptor for MHC Class I.
CD10?
Protease; marker for pre-B CALLA
CD19?
Part of B-cell coreceptor; regulates B-cell development and activation.
CD21?
Receptor for complement component C3d; part of B-cell coreceptor with CD19.
CD23?
Regulation of IgE synthesis; triggers release of GM-CSF from monocytes.
CD25?
Receptor for IL-2.
CD44?
Adhesion molecule mediating homing to peripheral lymphoid organs.
CD45R?
Essential in T and B cell antigen-stimulated activation.
CD50?
Function: Cell adhesion and signaling.
CD94
Function: Subunit of NKG2-A complex involved in inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity.
Function: Positive or negative modulation of T and B cell receptor signaling
CD5
Function: Identifies cytotoxic T cells
CD8
Function: Co-receptor for MHC Class I
CD8
Thymocytes, T cells, NK cells
CD2
Thymocytes, T cells
CD3
T helper cells, monocytes, macrophages
CD4
