Restoring CD8 T-cell responsiveness to IL-21 results in rapid islet allograft rejection. A: Percent islet graft survival in B6 and Il21r−/− mice, and Il21r−/− mice reconstituted with 1 million IL-21R competent CD8+ T-cells on day −4 (+CD8 T-cells), after allogenic islet transplants (day 0) (BALB/c donors). n = 5 for control B6 group, mean survival time of 16.7 days. n = 6 for Il21r−/− group. n = 5 for Il21r−/− (+CD8 T-cells) group. B: Individual blood glucose readings are shown for a cohort of B6 and Il21r−/− (+CD8 T-cells) mice.
