Abstract excerpt
The lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3, CD223) is a CD4-related, activation-induced cell surface molecule that binds to MHC class II with high affinity. The function of murine LAG-3 on T cells is unclear. Here, we show that V beta 7/8(+)LAG-3(-/-) T cells expand poorly following staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) stimulation in vitro. LAG-3(-/-) T cells proliferate at a normal rate, but exhibit increased cell...
