Scientists have discovered the mechanism that enables helper T cells to assume the more aggressive role of killer T cells in mounting an immune response against virus, cancerous tumors. The finding, made in collaboration with researchers from the RIKEN Institute in Japan, could enable the development of more potent drugs for AIDS, cancer and many other diseases based on using this mechanism to trigger larger armies of killer T cells against infected or damaged cells.

Molecular Switch Enabling Immune Cells to Better Fight Disease Identified
Scientists have discovered the mechanism that enables helper T cells to assume the more aggressive role of killer T cells in mounting an immune response against virus, cancerous tumors. The finding, made in collaboration with researchers from the RIKEN Institute in Japan, could enable the development of more potent drugs for AIDS, cancer and many other diseases based on using this mechanism to trigger larger armies of killer T cells against infected or damaged cells.
