The role of CD8 T cells in innate immunity and in antigen non-specific protection

Current Opinion in Immunology
Rance E Berg, James Forman

Abstract

The role of CD8 T cells in adaptive immune responses is well understood. These lymphocytes respond through their T cell receptors to diverse antigens presented by MHC class I molecules by proliferating, secreting cytokines and chemokines, and directly lysing infected cells. Recently, a role for CD8 T cells in the innate immune response has become apparent. Independent of T cell receptor ligation, CD8 T cells can mount a response against pathogens by secreting cytokines and can defend against tumors by directly killing transformed cells. This innate response has been shown to be beneficial in controlling several types of bacterial infections. However, a subset of CD8 T cells that have innate non-antigen-specific capabilities has been implicated in self-reactivity, which could lead to autoimmunity.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
