CD4+ T cells, or helper T cells, are one type of lymphocyte that helps coordinate the immune response against infection and disease. They interact and activate other cells in the immune system.

Researchers are working to launch a first-in-human clinical trial to test the approach in patients with cancer who develop ...

Immunologists at UNIGE have revealed a previously unknown anti-tumor role of CD4 T lymphocytes, marking a breakthrough that ...

For decades, CD4+ T-cells were seen to have a primarily supportive role in the immune response to cancer, priming CD8+ T cells that would take the more active role in attacking cancer cells. However ...

CD4+ T cells, or helper T cells, are one type of lymphocyte that helps coordinate the immune response against infection and disease. The cells are crucial in achieving a regulated effective immune ...

Scientists are on the hunt for a unique set of mutations, called “neoantigens,” that let the immune system distinguish tumor cells from normal cells. Their goal is to help the immune system react to ...

The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how specific immune cells, known as T-cells, are activated and ...

CD4 and CD8 cells are both types of white blood cells called T cell lymphocytes. ... kind of like the General in a battle. One of these is your CD4, or helper T cells.

The cell-mediated immunity operates mainly through two types of T cells: CD8+ “killer” T cells and CD4+ “helper” T cells. ... Helper T cells themselves must be activated to gain function.

The molecular markers CD4 and CD8—defining helper T cells and killer T cells, respectively—were once considered mutually exclusive. But "double positive" CD4+-CD8+ T cells have lately been ...

CD4+ “Helper” T cells primarily aid immunity by recruiting other immune cells and by sending them where they are needed most. They act as conductors. CD8+ “Killer” T cells, ...

A new study shows that Aedes aegypti, the mosquito responsible for spreading dengue, yellow fever and Zika, can still find ...
