Comparative studies using T(h)2-prone BALB/c and T(h)1-prone C57BL/6 mice were performed to clarify the influence of genetic background on T-h cell differentiation. The results showed IL-4, the production of which is induced by IL-2, to be much mo...
We previously reported that V beta 3(+) CD4(+) T cells maintained a protracted expansion, with the phenotypes of memory Th2 cells, for 30 days in C57BL/6 (B6) mice implanted with SEA-containing mini-osmotic pumps. In the present Study, we followed...

Both CD28 and its relative, inducible costimulator ( ICOS), have a binding motif for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in their cytoplasmic tail, and the binding of PI3K leads to activation of a serine/threonine kinase, Akt. The role of Akt in ...

To determine the levels of maturation and differentiation of murine CD4 single-positive (SP) T cells, we compared the secondary responses of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA)-induced neonatal thymic, adult thymic and adult splenic CD4 SP T cell b...
