Popis: The impact of CD28 ligation upon CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production was assessed. Although costimulation increased the proliferative response of both T cell subsets, cytokine production was most markedly increased in the CD4 + subset, as evidenced by a 40-fold increase in interleukin-2 (IL-2), a 14-fold increase in interleukin-3 (IL-3) and 5-fold increases in interferon γ and GM-colony-stimulating factor (CSF) production. The CD8 + T cell response to CD28 ligation was less marked, maxima being a 5-fold increase in IL-2 production and 2-fold increases in IL-3 and GM-CSF production. Resolution of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells into their CD44 lo (naive) and CD44 hi (memory/effector) subsets revealed that naive CD4 + T cells were the most CD28-responsive subsets. CD28-mediated costimulation promotes distinct differentiation programs in CD4 + versus CD8 + T cells.
