Abstract excerpt
Generation of CD8(+) memory T cells requires antigenic stimulation through T cell receptor (TCR); however, maintenance of CD8(+) memory T cells seems to be mediated by cytokines, such as IL-15, in a TCR-independent manner. Compared with the TCR-induced activation, less is known about the mechanisms of IL-15 action. We report here a comparative and kinetic analysis of the responses of memory phenotype CD8(+) T...
