TCR activation induced AR expression in human PBMC T cells.

<p>(A) PBMC were treated as indicated and analyzed by ICS. The upper panels show the gating strategy to identify activated (CD69+) CD4 or CD8 T cells expressing AR. The lower panels show the induction of AR by different stimuli in CD4 or CD8 T cells. (B) AR and IL-2 mRNA were measured by RT-PCR in purified CD4 and CD8 T cells after activation by anti-CD3+anti-CD28 beads. Results in (A) and (B) are representative of at least three experiments.
