When versatility matters: activins/inhibins as key regulators of immunity.

abstract：:Many specific antiviral and antitumour immune responses have been attributed to the protective effects of antigen-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Recognition of virus infected or tumour cells by CTL requires presentation of at least one peptide epitope from a virus or tumour-specific antigen by the releva...
