Cytolytic T Lymphocyte Recognition of Subcellular Antigen

  • Chapter
Mechanisms of Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 146))

Abstract

Specific antigen recognition is required to stimulate generation of a cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL1) response and to allow the resulting effector CTLs to bind and lyse the target cells. Reliable assays allow in vitro assessment of stimulation of a primary and secondary response and of the effector-target interaction. The antigens required to trigger generation of a response are the same as those required to allow binding and lysis by the effector CTL.
