🔬Elucidation of how various memory killer T cells are formed

Mikoto Okada team leader of RIKEN Organizational Dynamics Research Center RIKEN (RIKEN), International collaborative research group * such as Harumichi Ishikura researchers play a central role in the pathogen infection and the biological defense of cancer We have elucidated the mechanism by which the memory killer T cell [1] diversity is formed.

The results of this research identify immune cell populations important for the elimination of pathogens and cancers and can be expected to contribute to new biomarker searches that reflect biological defense capabilities.

This research will be posted on the online version (dated April 3: Japan time April 4) before being published in the American science magazine “Immunity” (April 17 issue).
