antigen on a cell's surface, T cells bind to it and become activated, then proceed to proliferate and become cytotoxic. CAR T cells destroy cells through several...

Gamma delta T cells (γδ T cells) are T cells that have a γδ T-cell receptor (TCR) on their surface. Most T cells are αβ (alpha beta) T cells with TCR composed...

forms of helper T cells (CD4+) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8+). Any naive T cell is considered immature and, unlike activated or memory T cells, has not encountered...

cytoskeletal remodeling resulting in T-cell activation. Active T cells secrete cytokines, undergo rapid proliferation, have cytotoxic activity and differentiate...

helper and cytotoxic T-cells can control viral infections by secreting interferons. Cytotoxic T cells usually kill virally infected cells. However, they...
