Rapid turnover of effector-memory CD4(+) T cells in healthy humans [PDF]
Memory T cells can be divided into central-memory (T(CM)) and effector-memory (T(EM)) cells, which differ in their functional properties. Although both subpopulations can persist long term, it is not known whether they are maintained by similar ...

Association of progressive CD4(+) T cell decline in SIV infection with the induction of autoreactive antibodies. [PDF]
The progressive decline of CD4(+) T cells is a hallmark of disease progression in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection.

Correlation of memory T cell responses against TRAP with protection from clinical malaria, and CD4+ CD25high T cells with susceptibility in Kenyans [PDF]
Background - Immunity to malaria develops naturally in endemic regions, but the protective immune mechanisms are poorly understood. Many vaccination strategies aim to induce T cells against diverse pre-erythrocytic antigens, but correlates of protection ...

CD4+ T cells continuously monitor antigen levels in their environment and adjust their expansion accordingly, as shown on [page 1555][1]. Obst and colleagues demonstrate that when antigen runs out, CD4+ T cell proliferation stops dead in its tracks.

Generation and Immune Regulation of CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T Cells in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The imbalance of CD4+Foxp3+ T cell subsets is reportedly involved in abnormal inflammatory immune responses in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The role of CD4+ T cells in tumor and chronic viral immune responses
Immunotherapies are mainly aimed to promote a CD8+ T cell response rather than a CD4+ T cell response as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can directly kill target cells.

CD4+T Cells: Differentiation and Functions [PDF]
CD4+T cells are crucial in achieving a regulated effective immune response to pathogens. Naive CD4+T cells are activated after interaction with antigen-MHC complex and differentiate into specific subtypes depending mainly on the cytokine milieu of the microenvironment. Besides the classical T-helper 1 and T-helper 2, other subsets have been identified,

A population of CD62Llow NK1.1− CD4+ T cells that resembles NK1.1+ CD4+ T cells [PDF]
In MHC class II-/- C57BL/6 (II-/-) mouse spleen, a small population of CD4+ T cells is present of which NK1.1+ CD4+ (NK) T cells comprise 40 to 45%. We report here that many of the NK1.1- CD4+ T cells derived from II-/- mice are also NK T cells. They produce large amounts of IL-4 in response to anti-CD3 ligation and do so without any requirement for ...

Freeze-thaw lysates of P. falciparum-infected red blood cells induce differentiation of functionally competent regulatory T cells from memory T cells. [PDF]
: In addition to naturally occurring regulatory T (nTreg) cells derived from the thymus, functionally competent Treg cells can be induced in vitro from peripheral blood lymphocytes in response to T-cell receptor stimulation with cytokine co-stimulation ...
