immune system
• four-fold more activated CD4 T cells are susceptible to natural killer cell lysis in vitro
• CD4 T cells fail to proliferate when transferred into an immunodeficient host
|
• mice respond strongly to the protective effects of pre-treatment with an encephalomyelitic peptide before EAE induction, with no disease developing compared to controls that develop a mild disease
• CD4 T cells isolated from mice in this disease model produce fail to produce inflammatory cytokines when activated
• transfer of EAE by transplant of CD4 T cells into an immunodeficent host can be completely blocked compared to controls by co-transfer of CD8 T regulatory cells
