摘要
Homeostatic proliferation of T cells in vivo is responsible for the maintainance of the T cell pool, and IL-15 is a pivotal cytokine implicated in this process. Known cell sources providing physiologically active IL-15 are monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and stromal cells. T lymphocyte expression of functionally active IL-15 and its possible role in T cell biology have not been investigated. In this study, we demonstrate that human T cells constitutively express IL-15 that acts through autocrine/juxtacrine loops to promote ex vivo homeostatic T cell proliferation.
