Effect of CD8+ T cells on dynamic lung compliance during PCP in mice. Specific dynamic lung compliance measurements were taken on CD4-depleted, CD4/CD8–depleted, and anti-HRP–treated mice inoculated with P. carinii 17 or 34 days previously. Controls were uninfected C57BL/6 mice. Values are mean ± 1 SD (n = 5). *P < 0.05 vs. CD4/CD8–depleted, anti-HRP–treated, and uninfected mice at 17 and 34 days after inoculation.
