CD4 and CD8 T cells have differential proliferative and apoptotic responses to immunostimulatory therapies in lymphoid organs. Mice were treated with anti-CD40/IL-2 immunotherapy and assessed for various immune parameters on day 12 of treatment in lymphoid (spleen or LN) organs. Percentage (a) and total numbers (b) of CD4 (Foxp3-ve) and CD8 T cells in lymphoid organs. Percentage of proliferating (c), as assessed by BrdU, and apoptotic (d), as assessed by surface Annexin V expression, of CD4 (Foxp3-ve) and CD8 T cells in lymphoid organs. These data are representative of 2-5 independent experiments with 3 mice per group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistics were derived using ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post-test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ns: P > 0.05
