Human CD4+ CD25hi Foxp3+ regulatory T cells are derived by rapid turnover of memory populations in vivo

Vukmanovic-Stejic, Milica, Zhang, Yan, Cook, Joanne E., Fletcher, Jean M., McQuaid, Arthur, Masters, Joanne E., ...

While memory T cells are maintained by continuous turnover, it is not clear how human regulatory CD4+CD45RO+CD25hi Foxp3+ T lymphocyte populations persist throughout life. We therefore used deuterium...

Prolonged exposure of naïve CD8+ T cells to interleukin-7 or interleukin-15 stimulates proliferation without differentiation or loss of telomere length

Wallace, Diana L, Bérard, Marion, Soares, Maria V D, Oldham, Janine, Cook, Joanne E, Akbar, Arne N, ...

Interleukin (IL)-7 and IL-15 are cytokines implicated in homeostatic control of the peripheral CD8 T-cell pool. We compared the effects of IL-7 and IL-15 on survival and proliferation of purified...

Telomere Erosion in Memory T Cells Induced by Telomerase Inhibition at the Site of Antigenic Challenge In Vivo

Reed, John R., Vukmanovic-Stejic, Milica, Fletcher, Jean M., Soares, Maria Vieira D., Cook, Joanne E., Orteu, Catherine H., ...

The extent of human memory T cell proliferation, differentiation, and telomere erosion that occurs after a single episode of immune challenge in vivo is unclear. To investigate this, we injected...
