Spi6 in dendritic cell priming of CD8 T cell responses to virus
Spi6 is a serine protease inhibitor. Its main function is inhibition of granzyme B (GrB): it is therefore an anti-apoptotic protein in cytotoxic T cells (CTL), where leakage of GrB from cytotoxic granules into the cytosol can trigger apoptosis. CTLs use GrB release to kill infected cells but they ca...
