The Maintenance of Telomere Length in CD28+ T Cells During T Lymphocyte Stimulation
Abstract Telomerase activity is not readily detected in resting human T lymphocytes, however upon antigen presentation, telomerase is transiently upregulated. Presently, it is not known if telomerase activation is necessary for the proliferation of T cells or for the maintenance of telomere lengths....
