Evidence for Multiple Functions of T-Lymphocytes Associated Serine Proteinases

  • Chapter
Kinins V

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 247 A))

Abstract

T-lymphocytes play a crucial role in the defense mechanism of higher organisms against harmful agents, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites and tumors. There is ample evidence that soluble products released by specifically induced T-effector cells such as interleukins (1) and lympholysins (2) are operative directly and/or indirectly in various defense mechanisms.
