Interleukin 13-deficient (IL-13-/-) mice express a defect in priming for IL-4 production that is not corrected by adding IL-13 to the priming culture. This is partly accounted for by the consumption of IL-4 without endogenous replacement during culture of IL-13-/- CD4+ T cells. We examined cells from mice in which disrupted Il13 was linked to wild-type Il4 on one chromosome and wild-type Il13 was linked to a...
