CD39 is upregulated during activation of mouse and human T cells and attenuates the immune response to Listeria monocytogenes.

CD39 is upregulated during activation of mouse and human T cells and attenuates the immune response to Listeria monocytogenes.

The ectoenzymes CD39 and CD73 degrade extracellular ATP to adenosine. ATP is released by stressed or damaged cells and provides pro-inflammatory signals to immune cells through P2 receptors. Adenosine, on the other hand, suppresses immune cells by stimulating P1 receptors. Thus, CD39 and CD73 can sh...
