Distinct effects of IL-18 on the engraftment and function of human effector CD8 T cells and regulatory T cells.

Distinct effects of IL-18 on the engraftment and function of human effector CD8 T cells and regulatory T cells.

IL-18 has pleotropic effects on the activation of T cells during antigen presentation. We investigated the effects of human IL-18 on the engraftment and function of human T cell subsets in xenograft mouse models. IL-18 enhanced the engraftment of human CD8(+) effector T cells and promoted the develo...
