Turnkey solutions for T CELL ACTIVATION RESEARCH / Soluzioni chiavi in mano per la RICERCA DELL'ATTIVAZIONE DELLE CELLULE T Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa The coordination of an effective immune response, relies on proper T cell activation following antigen engagement. Research shows that T cell activation and expansion are controlled by changes in cellular metabolism. Understanding the mechanisms underlying T cell activation is therefore a crucial element of immunology research. This infographic will explore the world of T cell activation and the mechanisms driving the immune cell response. THE T CELL LIFE CYCLE When healthy cells are invaded by a pathogen, they display endogenous peptides that act as a beacon to patrolling T cells. The binding of T-cell receptors (TCRs) to these peptides triggers the release of cytokines leading to the activation, proliferation and differentiation of T cells into killer T cells, for example. An
