Abstract excerpt
The CD45RA and CD45RO isoforms have been reported to define complementary subsets among CD4+ T cells: CD45RA CD4+ T cells are considered "virgin T cells" and CD45RO "primed T cells." We investigated the secretion of lymphokines by human CD4+ CD45RO and CD4+ CD45RA T helper cells after mitogen stimulation. CD45RA and CD45RO CD4+ T cells were isolated by negative immunoselection using magnetic beads. CD45RO cells,...
