Figure 1.
Upregulation of CTLA4 in response to alloantigen by wild-type and CD28-deficient T cells. Splenocytes from wild-type and CD28−/− mice underwent two rounds of stimulation in vitro with irradiated allogeneic splenocytes, as described in Materials and Methods. 72 h after the second stimulation, samples were analyzed by flow cytometry. The histograms represent the fluorescence emitted by wild-type or CD28-deficient CD4+ cells after staining with hamster IgG (thin line) or anti-CTLA4 mAb (heavy line).
