immune system
• naive T cells are able to initiate a response to antigen but show decreased sensitivity to lower antigen concentrations and are unable to maintain their proliferative response
• naive CD4+ antigen-specific T cell responses to mitogen (Con A) activation are reduced in splenocytes
|
• thymocyte proliferative responses to OVA antigen are reduced
|
• 10- to 20-fold decrease in T cell IL-2 production when stimulated with OVA antigen
|
hematopoietic system
• naive T cells are able to initiate a response to antigen but show decreased sensitivity to lower antigen concentrations and are unable to maintain their proliferative response
• naive CD4+ antigen-specific T cell responses to mitogen (Con A) activation are reduced in splenocytes
|
• thymocyte proliferative responses to OVA antigen are reduced
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• thymocyte proliferative responses to OVA antigen are reduced
|
cellular
