PTK7+ CD4+ RTEs exhibit a selective impairment of activation-induced function after engagement of the αβ-TCR/CD3 complex and CD28 compared with PTK7 naive CD4+ T cells. (A) Activation-dependent surface expression by PTK7+ CD4+ RTEs (dashed line) and PTK7 naive CD4+ T cells (solid line) after stimulation with α-CD3/α-CD28 mAb beads for 12 (CD154) or 24 (CD25 and CD69) h (representative results from one of three donors). (B) Intracellular TNF-α and IL-2 expression after α-CD3/α-CD28 bead stimulation for 12 h (representative results from one of three donors). (C) IL-2 content (mean ± SD of duplicate wells, with the results representative of one of four donors) in cell culture supernatants. (D) [3H]thymidine incorporation (mean ± SD) after culture with the indicated ratio of α-CD3/α-CD28 beads/cell for 96 h in the presence and absence of rhIL-2 (representative results from one of three donors). (E) IFN-γ content (mean ± SD of n = 3 donors) in cell culture supernatants after Th1 differentiation for 72 h. *, P < 0.05 by the two-tailed unpaired Student's t test.
