Abstract
The present invention relates to a compound selectively binding to a sensory receptor or selectively altering the expression of a sensory receptor for use in a method for treating or preventing a disease associated with a pathologic cellular cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response. Further, the invention relates to means for detecting a sensory receptor for use in a method for diagnosing cellular resistance against CTL response in a patient. The invention further embraces a method for determining the resistance of a cell against a CTL response in vitro and to a method for identifying agents that influence the response of cells to CTLs.
