Cytokines are the hormonal messengers responsible for most of the biological effects in the immune system, such as cell-mediated immunity and allergic type responses. T lymphocytes are a major source of cytokines. These cells bear antigen-specific receptors on their cell surface to allow recognition of foreign pathogens. There are two main subsets of T lymphocytes, distinguished by th...Research Tools for Analysis of ZAP-70
Activation of B cells through the B cell receptor or T cells through the CD3 complex follows a similar signaling pathway although, in many cases, different members of the same kinase families are used. ZAP-70 and Syk are members of the same family and have similar sequences and structures. Crosslinking of the CD3 receptor complex leads to the activation of Lck and Fyn which are Src fa...An Easy-to-Use Research Fermentor/Bioreactor
