  • Title: The effect of tonsillar T cell subpopulations in antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferative response. Evidence of T cell suppression.
    Author: Takenaka H, Miyoshi S, Mizukoshi O, Saito H.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol Suppl; 1984; 416():38-44. PubMed ID: 6085447.
    Abstract:
    The presence of specific T cell subsets in tonsils, during in vitro generation of peripheral blood lymphocyte proliferative response was investigated. Tonsil T cells were selected for their activity with the monoclonal antibodies OKT4 and OKT8. The suppressor cell assay revealed the effects of tonsillar T cell subpopulations identified as OKT4- and OKT8-. The OKT8- had no inhibitory effects on proliferation of peripheral lymphocytes by Dermatophagoides farinae antigen in vitro.
