Impact of gamma chain cytokines on the differentiation of recently antigen-activated CD8 T cells

ABSTRACT: Analysis of how different gamma chain family cytokines influence CD8 T cell differentiation. Naïve CD8 T cells were isolated from the spleens OT-I Thy1.1 TCR Tg mice. Whole splenocytes from wild-type C57BL/6 mice were used as stimulator cells. Purified naïve wild-type OT-I (1×106/well) were stimulated with OVA peptide (SIINFEKL) pulsed (5 µg/ml) and irradiated (2,000 rads) syngeneic splenocytes (6×106/well) in 24-well plates. Forty-eight hours later, activated OT-I T cells were harvested and viable cells were enriched over a Ficoll-paque gradient and washed with cRPMI prior to being reseeded in cRPMI (5×105 cells/ml) and treated with the media supplemented with various γc cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-15 and IL-21). Experimental samples were treated with 100 ng/ml of their respective gam
