The interplay of T cell responses to viral and autoimmune epitopes.

abstract：:Building on significant advances in basic tumor immunology over the past decade, current translational efforts to develop novel antitumor T cell therapeutics continue to accelerate. Both passive T cell immunotherapy (e.g., adoptive T cell transfusions) and active immunotherapy (e.g., vaccination) may eventually become...

abstract：:Interleukin (IL)-21 is a member of the γ chain-receptor cytokine family along with IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15. The effects of IL-21 are pleiotropic, owing to the broad cellular distribution of the IL-21 receptor. IL-21 is secreted by activated CD4 T cells and natural killer T cells. Within CD4 T cells, its secr...
