Abstract

In eukaryotic cells the phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) is restricted to the inner plasma-membrane leaflet. This lipid asymmetry, which is maintained by the concerted action of phospholipid transport proteins, is mainly lost during apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate that primary human CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) expose PS on T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated antigen (Ag) recognition. In ...
