Abstract excerpt
Mice lacking the gene for suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) show defective homeostasis of T lymphocytes due to accumulation of CD8(+) T cells, resulting at least partly from dysregulated IL-15 signaling. IL-15 alone does not stimulate proliferation of naïve CD8 T cells, but can synergize with IL-21 to induce proliferation, suggesting a potential role for IL-21 in the defective homeostasis of CD8(+) T...
