In vitro maintaining of CD4+ central and effector memory cells in normal and inflammatory conditions

IL-7 is a key factor for the survival and maintenance of CD4+ central (Tcm) and effector (Tem) memory cells in the whole body. In many autoimmune diseases, an elevated level of IL-7 is detected in blood serum and at the site of inflammation, thus suggesting participation of this homeostatic factor i...

Upon in vitro cultures, IL-7 contributed to decreased expression of CD127, and increased expression of CD132 on CD4+Tcm and Tem. We have evaluated the CD4+Tcm and Tem populations by affinity of T cell receptor (TCR), using the level of CD5 expression.
