Interleukin-Induced Proliferation of an Activated T8-Lymphocyte


Cytokines produced by the T4-helper lymphocyte binds to receptors on the activated T8-lymphocyte enabling it to proliferate into a large clone of identical T8-lymphocytes. The subset of T4-lymphocytes that normally interact with macrophages and T8-lymphocytes to promote cell-mediated immunity are called Th1 lymphocytes.
