Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T cells kill virus-infected cells and tumor cells by releasing lytic granules that contain cell-killing contents. Exocytosis requires calcium influx and protein kinase C (PKC) activation. Here, we extend our previous finding regarding the lack of isoform specificity of PKCs in the granule release step, showing that mutant constitutively active PKCdelta can substitute for phorbol esters and support...
