title: Cytokine-induced differentiation and proliferation of human T lymphocytes in vitro: effects of interleukin 2 and interleukin 6.
abstract: The contents of CD8(+), CD4(+)CD8(+), CD3(+)HLA-DR(+), CD8(+)INF-gamma (+) T cells, and natural killers (CD16(+)56(+)) and NK/T cells (CD16(+)56(+)CD3(+)) increase after 7-day culturing in the presence of interleukin-2. The number of apoptotic cells and cells in S-, and G(2)+M phases of the cell cycle also increased. Interleukin-6 predominantly induced proliferation of CD3(+)HLA-DR(+) T cells and G(2)+M mitotic cells.
