[Ultrastructure of the conjugates of cytolytic T-lymphocytes and target cells]. 1978

S N Bykovskaia, and M O Raushenbakh, and A N Rytenko, and A F Bykovskiĭ

Conjugates of target cells and of cytological T-lymphocytes obtained on the 11th day after alloimmunization were investigated. The conjugates formed small and medium lymphocytes; mature secretory granules, crystal-like structures and lipids were revealed in their cytoplasm. The lymphocyte is spherical, the area of contact with the target cell does not exceed 5 to 15%. Cytolysis of target cells is observed after 30 to 60 minutes of incubation. The lymphocyte becomes flattened, its nucleus acquires an oval form, and the area of contact with the target cell increases considerably. At the same time hypertrophy and change of orientation of Golgi's complex to the area of contact with the target cell, coalescence of the secretory granules with lipids and crystal-like structures, the appearance of immature secretory granules and vacuolar degeneration of mitochondria are demonstrated. The lymphocyte membrane becomes "desquamated"; structures connected with it, named "membranosomes" are described. It is suggested that the secretory processes in the cytoplasm of cytolytic T-lymphocytes are activated in their interaction with target cells.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
