  2. CD4+/CD8+ ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD4+/CD8+_ratio

    The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio is the ratio of T helper cells (with the surface marker CD4) to cytotoxic T cells (with the surface marker CD8). Both CD4 + and CD8 + T cells contain several subsets. [1] The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio in the peripheral blood of healthy adults and mice is about 2:1, and an altered ratio can indicate diseases relating to ...

  3. Helper/suppressor ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helper/suppressor_ratio

    Normal values (95% confidence intervals) are approximately 30-60% CD4 and 10-30% CD8 depending on age (ratio 0.9 to 3.7 in adults). [1] One reason for abnormal results is the loss of CD4-positive cells to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The loss of CD4-positive cells to HIV infection can result in various distortions in the ...

  4. CD4+ T cells and antitumor immunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD4+_T_cells_and_antitumor...

    Perforin deficient mice were also shown to have a reduced ability to ward off MCA induced cancers, suggesting an important role of CD8 + T cells. (Street et al. 2001) Perforin is a protein produced by CD8 + T cells, which plays a central role in the cytotoxic killing mechanisms by providing entry of degradative granzymes into an infected cell ...

  5. T helper cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_cell

    Their key effector cytokine is IL-10. Their main effector cells are NK cells as well as CD8 T cells, IgG B cells, and IL-10 CD4 T cells. The key THαβ transcription factors are STAT1 and STAT3 as well as IRFs. IL-10 from CD4 T cells activate NK cells' ADCC to apoptose virus-infected cells and to induce host as well as viral DNA fragmentation ...

  6. T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell

    Optimal CD8 + T cell response relies on CD4 + signalling. [44] CD4 + cells are useful in the initial antigenic activation of naive CD8 T cells, and sustaining memory CD8 + T cells in the aftermath of an acute infection. Therefore, activation of CD4 + T cells can be beneficial to the action of CD8 + T cells. [45] [46] [47]

  7. Cytotoxic T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytotoxic_T_cell

    Antigen presentation stimulates T cells to become either "cytotoxic" CD8+ cells or "helper" CD4+ cells.. A cytotoxic T cell (also known as T C, cytotoxic T lymphocyte, CTL, T-killer cell, cytolytic T cell, CD8 + T-cell or killer T cell) is a T lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected by intracellular pathogens such as viruses or bacteria, or ...

  8. Cell-mediated immunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-mediated_immunity

    CD8 + cytotoxic T-cells may also be categorized as: [5] T c 1 cells, T c 2 cells. Similarly to CD4 + T H cells, a third category called T C 17 were discovered that also secrete IL-17. As for the ILCs, they [Clarification needed.] may be classified into three main categories [5] ILC1 which secrete type 1 cytokines, ILC2 which secrete type 2 ...

  9. Cross-presentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-presentation

    The activation of cross presenting dendritic cells is dependent on stimulation by CD4+ T helper cells. The co-stimulatory molecule CD40/CD40L along with the danger presence of an exogenous antigen are catalysts for dendritic cell licensing, and thus the cross presentation and activation of naive CD8+ cytotoxic T cells.
