Continued proliferation of CD4+ T cells depends on antigen persistence. (A) CFSE-labeled lymph node cells from CD45.1+ AND TCR transgenic mice were transferred into mice that were treated with 100 μg/ml dox for 24 h according to the indicated schedules. All recipients were double transgenic Ii-rTA+TIM+, except mouse 1, which carried the TIM gene only and was dox treated throughout. Subcutaneous lymph nodes were removed 36, 60, 84, and 108 h after transfer and were analyzed by flow cytometry. The 36-h and 60-h panels are gated on CD4+ cells, the others on CD4+CD45.1+ cells. One representative experiment out of five independent ones is shown. (B) Mean number of divisions of transferred cells from experiment A plotted against time is shown. (C) Proportion of transferred AND CD4+ cells among total CD4+ cells in subcutaneous lymph nodes from experiment A over time is shown.
