Genetic dissection of the vav2-rac1 signaling axis in vascular smooth muscle cells.

abstract：:The role of the target cell in its own death mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) has been controversial. The ability of the pore-forming granule components of CTL to induce target cell death directly has been taken to suggest an essentially passive role for the target. This view of CTL-mediated killing ascribes ...
