Sympathetic neural signaling via the β2‐adrenergic receptor suppresses T‐cell receptor‐mediated human and mouse CD8<sup>+</sup> T‐cell effector function
25 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Postganglionic sympathetic neurons innervate secondary lymphoid organs and secrete norepinephrine (NE) as the primary neurotransmitter. NE binds and signals through five distinct members of the adrenergic receptor family. In this study, we show elevated expression of the β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) on primary human CD8(+) effector memory T cells. Treatment of both human and murine CD8(+) T cells with NE...
