Cell softness renders cytotoxic T lymphocytes and T leukemic cells resistant to perforin-mediated killing
Abstract Mechanical force contributes to perforin pore formation at immune synapses, thus facilitating the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)-mediated killing of tumor cells in a unidirectional fashion. How such mechanical cues affect CTL evasion of perforin-mediated autolysis remains unclear. Here we sh...
