Abstract CD3+ T lymphocytes were isolated by positive magnetic separation from the peripheral blood of
healthy donors. In the absence of any additional activating stimuli, interleukin-7 (IL-7) was shown to augment
the levels of T cells expressing CD25 activation marker both in CD4-positive and in CD4-negative effector memory
(CD45RA-CD197-)
T cell subsets, as well as in terminally differentiated (CD45RA+CD197-) T cells, without
significantly affecting the activation status of naive (CD45RA+CD197+) and central memory (CD45RA-CD197+)
T
cells. In addition, IL-7 noticeably enhanced the production of IL-2, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and IL-10, but not IL-4,
in T cells. The direct effects… More >
