    Treatment of splenocytes and lymph node cells of 5 month-old MRL/lpr mice with TPA induced IL-2-dependent proliferation of the cells in the presence of CA++. The induced response was inhibited completely by a monoclonal antibody to IL-2 receptor. The combination of TPA and A23187 in the lpr cells induced both proliferation and production of IL-2 in a Ca++-dependent fashion. The proliferative response of the lpr cells was equivalent to that of congenic (MRL/+/+) or normal cells, but the quantity of IL-2 secreted from the lpr cells was significantly less than that of the controls. Actinomycin D, but not mitomycin C, blocked IL-2 secretion from the treated lpr cells indicating de novo synthesis of IL-2 mRNA in the cells. Thus the lpr lymphocytes can be activated to proliferate in response to IL-2, yet they do not secrete IL-2 at a normal level even if activation signals are transmitted into the cells.

    T Cell Types and Functions

    When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
