## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Interleukinβ2 (ILβ2) has been used successfully to increase CD4 cell counts in patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. The mechanisms involved in this phenomenon are unknown. We hypothesized that a differential proliferation rate of CD4+ compared wit
In mice Listeria monocytogenes infection induces a strong T cell response. In an attempt to quantitatively analyze the magnitude and kinetics of the CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during L. monocytogenes infection in vivo we used a T cell transfer system that is independent of in vitro cell cultu
## Abstract 4β1BBL^β/β^ mice have a defect in recall CD8^+^ T cell responses to viruses, whereas CD4^+^ T cell responses to virus are unimpaired in these mice. In contrast, both CD4^+^ and CD8^+^ T cells respond to 4β1BB ligand (4β1BBL) __in vitro__. To clarify the role of 4β1BB/4β1BBL in CD4^+^ ve
Several groups have described that a low percentage of in vitro cultured Tcell receptor (TcR) yl6 cells express CD8. Contrary toTcR alp cells, however, CD8 on these TcR y/6 cells was shown to be a CD8a homodimer. We describe here that addition of interleukin-7 (IL-7) to a short-term in vitro culture
