Figure 1. CTLA4 blockade enhances Teff proliferation in vitro.
CD4+CD25+ Tregs and CD4+CD25– Teffs were isolated from lymph nodes and stimulated in vitro with irradiated T cell–depleted splenocytes in the presence of 10 μg/ml anti-CD3 in the presence or absence of 50 μg/ml anti-CTLA4 monoclonal antibody. [3H]thymidine was added for the last 8 hours of a 72-hour culture. The data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
