Cytotoxic effect of autocrine and macrophage-derived nitric oxide on cultured rat mesangial cells.

abstract：:Human thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) promotes CD4(+) T-cell proliferation both directly and indirectly through dendritic cell (DC) activation. Although human TSLP-activated DCs induce CD8(+) T-cell proliferation, it is not clear whether TSLP acts directly on CD8(+) T cells. In this study, we show that human CD8(+...
