Sensitivity of T cells to anti-CD3-stimulated suicide is independent of functional phenotype

Eur J Immunol. 1992 Jun;22(6):1655-8. doi: 10.1002/eji.1830220648.

Abstract

We have examined mixed populations and cloned murine CD4+ T cell lines for their sensitivity to anti-CD3-stimulated suicide. The sensitivity of CD4+ clones to anti-CD3-stimulated suicide is independent of their interleukin-2/interleukin-4 or interferon-gamma secretion profile or their lytic efficiency in anti-CD3 redirected lytic assays.
