Flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood T lymphocytes demonstrated that the majority of the CD4+ cells were CD29+ or CD45RO+ "mature" cells while the CD8+ cells were primarily CD45RA+ "native" cells. After an initial separation into CD4+ and CD8+ cells and a secondary separation into CD45 subsets, lymphokine secretion was assessed after phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin or fixed anti-CD3 stimulation. Within the respective CD45 subsets, CD4+ cells produced more interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, and IL-6; but the CD8+ cells secreted more interferon-gamma and granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion was similar in the matched CD45 subsets. Northern analysis revealed a parallel pattern of lymphokine mRNA expression in the four lymphocyte subsets. These results suggest that human CD8+ peripheral blood lymphocytes have a significant capacity to secrete lymphokines, and that the low lymphokine production observed in unseparated CD8+ cells reflects the higher percentage of less functional CD45RA+ cells.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.

D017252 CD3 Complex Complex of at least five membrane-bound polypeptides in mature T-lymphocytes that are non-covalently associated with one another and with the T-cell receptor (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL). The CD3 complex includes the gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, and eta chains (subunits). When antigen binds to the T-cell receptor, the CD3 complex transduces the activating signals to the cytoplasm of the T-cell. The CD3 gamma and delta chains (subunits) are separate from and not related to the gamma/delta chains of the T-cell receptor (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA).

D017493 Leukocyte Common Antigens High-molecular weight glycoproteins uniquely expressed on the surface of LEUKOCYTES and their hemopoietic progenitors. They contain two FIBRONECTIN TYPE III DOMAINS and possess cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, which plays a role in intracellular signaling from the CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. Leukocyte common antigens occur as multiple isoforms that result from alternative mRNA splicing and differential usage of three exons.
