Selective reduction of post-selection CD8 thymocyte proliferation in IL-15Rα deficient mice.

Peripheral CD8(+) T cells are defective in both IL-15 and IL-15Rα knock-out (KO) mice; however, whether IL-15/IL-15Rα deficiency has a similar effect on CD8 single-positive (SP) thymocytes remains unclear. In this study, we investigated whether the absence of IL-15 transpresentation in IL-15Rα KO mi...
