Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that proliferation of terminally differentiated Th1 clones depends primarily on an interleukin-12 (IL-12)-paracrine mechanism mediated by their interactions with antigen-presenting cells (APC) rather than on an IL-2-autocrine mechanism. Such a Th1 clone (4-86, C57BL/6 origin) was cultured with recombinant IL-12 (rIL-12) in the absence of either antigen or APC. Some cells survived for...
