We analyzed the cytolytic activity of intraepithelial T cells (IEL) isolated from the small intestines of 2- to 3-month-old mutant mice rendered deficient in different gene(s) in which the number of IEL expressing either T cell receptor (TCR)-alpha beta (alpha beta-IEL) or TCR-gamma delta (gamma delta-IEL) were absent or markedly diminished. When compared with wild-type littermates, cytolytic activity of gamma...
