Characterization and partial purification of a novel cytotoxic lymphokine (factor 2) produced by a human B cell line (Karpas 160).

abstract：:The immunomodulator FTY720 inhibits lymph node (LN) and thymic egress, thereby constraining T cell circulation and reducing peripheral T cell numbers. Here, we analyzed in mouse models the as yet scarcely characterized impact of long-term (up to 6 months) FTY720 exposure on T cell homeostasis and possible consequences...
