Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CD8+ T cells are present at higher than normal levels in MHC class II-deficient (IIKO) mice. METHODS: In this study, we have examined the sensitivity of CD8+ T cells to depletion induced by a single injection or multiple injections of an anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (2.43) in IIKO mice in vivo. RESULTS: Thymectomized (ATX) IIKO mice showed the presence of a greater percentage of memory CD8+ T...
