摘要
The majority of expanded T cells generated during an immune response are cleaned by apoptosis. Prevention of death in some activated T cells enables the persistence of a memory T-cell pool. Here, observations that IFN-alpha and IFN-beta inhibit activated T-cell apoptosis are described. Although this enables memory T cells to persist without antigen, excessive IFN-alpha ol IFN-gamma secretion might lead to chronic inflammation.
