PBT were analyzed for annexin V positive cells to determine percentage of cells undergoing apoptosis. Phenotypes were determined by surface labeling with anti-CD8 mAb as described. Data represent mean ± SD of 3 experiments.

Abbreviations: CD4XL, CD4 cross-linking; PBT, peripheral blood T cells; mIgG, mouse immunoglobulin G1; GAM, goat anti-mouse; mAb, monoclonal antibody.

*

P < .05 as determined by paired test compared with medium treatment instead of CD4XL.
