✦ Synopsis


Chaperone molecules, including members of the heat shock protein family, are able to stimulate αβ and γδ T cells as well as natural killer cells. For αβ T cells, specificity is induced by chaperone-assisted peptides; this has lead to detailed investigations of peptides that bind to these chaperones and their possible role in antigen presentation.

## Abstract The major function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) is to eliminate pathogen‐infected and tumorigenic cells. This is mediated mainly through the exocytosis of lytic granules (LGs) containing cytotoxic components, such as perforin and granzymes at the immunological synapse (IS). The sol
