In a specific type of tumor, cytotoxic T cells can recognize but not kill the tumor cell. Interaction of PD-L1 in tumor cells with PD1 in cytotoxic T cells plays a role in shaping the immune response by initiating signal transduction cascades in both cell types.  What will happen if the  signal transduction cascade in cytotoxic T cells is blocked?    T cells will be activated and kill tumor cells    T cells can recognize the cancer cells but will not be activated     Tumor cell will undergo programmed cell death

Cell Signaling

It allows cells to perform various cellular activities, coordinate, and interact with other cells. All cells of an organism receive signals from their environments and respond accordingly. Even the unicellular eukaryotes receive signals secreted by other cells and respond. In the case of yeast, mating takes place by signaling between the yeast cells. Communication by cell signaling in a multicellular organism has become a vast and important part of various fields of biology.
