Abstract excerpt
SOCS1(-/-) mice accumulate within the thymus and periphery CD8(+) lymphocytes that express memory cell markers and display heightened in vitro responses to common gamma-chain cytokines. To investigate whether dysregulated homeostasis of T lymphocytes and acquisition of memory phenotype by CD8(+) cells in SOCS1(-/-) mice were mediated by IL-7 and/or IL-15 in vivo, we have generated SOCS1(-/-)IL-7(-/-),...
