Over the past decades, information has accumulated concerning the mechanism how an exterior signal induced by ligand on neighboring cells is transmitted to the nucleus through the Notch receptor and the cellular effects of Notch signaling on the regulation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis in many cell types. However, the function and the mechanism of Notch signaling in peripheral T cells still remains to be addressed. Therefore, we asked whether Notch1 is involved in CD8+ cytolytic effector T cell (CTLs) maturation and effector functions and how Notch1 exerts its cellular function in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. The maturation …
