TL;DR: It is shown that immune competence for even stringent antigens such as HY can be restored in the absence of thymic function and IL-7 is identified as a potent modulator ofThymic-independent T-cell regeneration.

The Many Faces of IL-7: From Lymphopoiesis to Peripheral T Cell Maintenance
Terry J. Fry,Crystal L. Mackall +1 more
TL;DR: IL-7 plays critical and nonredundant roles in both T cell lymphopoiesis and in maintaining and restoring peripheral T cell homeostasis.

Harnessing the biology of IL-7 for therapeutic application
TL;DR: The biology of IL-7 and the results of its clinical use that are available so far are summarized to provide a perspective on the opportunities for clinical application of this cytokine.
Interleukin-7: from bench to clinic.
Terry J. Fry,Crystal L. Mackall +1 more
TL;DR: The complete set of physiologic roles for this cytokine, especially those involving lymphocyte homeostasis, have only recently been elucidated, after the initial descriptions of effects on B-cell precursors.

Thymic involution and immune reconstitution
Heather E. Lynch,Gabrielle L. Goldberg,Ann P. Chidgey,Marcel R.M. van den Brink,Richard L. Boyd,Gregory D. Sempowski +5 more
TL;DR: Progress is presented on the exploitation of thymosuppressive and thymostimulatory pathways using factors such as keratinocyte growth factor, interleukin 7 or sex steroid ablation for therapeutic thymus restoration and peripheral immune reconstitution in adults.

T cell immune reconstitution following lymphodepletion.
TL;DR: Insight has permitted the manipulation of the immune system to maximize anti-tumor immunity through lymphopenia and led to an appreciation of mechanisms that underlie graft versus host disease.

TL;DR: Significantly, these studies indicate that the phase of thymocyte expansion occurring before the onset of T cell receptor gene rearrangement is critically dependent upon, and mediated by the high affinity receptor for IL-7.

Analysis of apoptosis in lymph nodes of HIV-infected persons. Intensity of apoptosis correlates with the general state of activation of the lymphoid tissue and not with stage of disease or viral burden.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the increased intensity of the apoptotic phenomenon in HIV infection is caused by the general state of immune activation, and is independent of the progression of HIV disease and of the levels of viral load.
Activation-induced death by apoptosis in CD4+ T cells from human immunodeficiency virus-infected asymptomatic individuals.
TL;DR: It is reported that the selective failure of CD4+ T cells from 59 clinically asymptomatic HIV-infected individuals to proliferate in vitro to TCR mobilization by major histocompatibility complex class II-dependent superantigens and to pokeweed mitogen (PWM) is due to an active CD4- T cell death process, with the biochemical and ultrastructural features of apoptosis.
The Technique of Free Skin Grafting in Mammals
TL;DR: Methods are described for the execution of free skin grafts in rabbits, guinea-pigs and mice and use has been made of the techniques described above.

TL;DR: Dysregulated immune activation was partially corrected by this regimen; however, the perturbed expression of T cell receptor V regions in the CD4 and CD8 T lymphocyte populations was not significantly affected.
