immune system
decreased T cell number ( J:126339 )
• mature T cell numbers in the spleen and lymph nodes are decreased compared to in Cops8tm1Nwe Tg(CD4-cre)1Cwi heterozygotes
• however, the proportion of T cells with naive, memory and regulatory phenotypes are normal
abnormal CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell physiology ( J:126339 )
• CD4+ T cells are less responsive to IL-7 and exhibit a reduced survival compared to CD4+ T cells from IL-7-treated Cops8tm1Nwe Tg(CD4-cre)1Cwi heterozygotes
abnormal T cell activation ( J:126339 )
• increase in cellular size following stimulation, an indication of activation, is substantially reduced in T cells compared to in T cells from Cops8tm1Nwe Tg(CD4-cre)1Cwi heterozygotes
decreased T cell proliferation ( J:126339 )
• T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 or with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin fail to proliferate as well as T cells from Cops8tm1Nwe Tg(CD4-cre)1Cwi heterozygotes even with the addition of IL-2
• cell cycling in T cells is reduced or absent compared to in T cells from Cops8tm1Nwe Tg(CD4-cre)1Cwi heterozygotes
• however, no increase in T cell apoptosis is observed
decreased interleukin-2 secretion ( J:126339 )
• T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 or with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin produce less IL-2 than similarly treated wild-type cells
