摘要: Although they are known for their capacity to kill infected cells, Ag-specific CD8 + T cells elaborate other effector mechanisms, including TNF and IFN-γ, that contribute defense against infection. rapidly turn ON OFF IFN-γ production in direct response Ag contact, presumably minimize the potential immunopathology could result from inappropriate secretion of this inflammatory mediator. In study, we show, using vitro propagated directly ex vivo-analyzed contrast Ag-dependent ON/OFF cycling production, cessation by same producing is rapid independent.
