Abstract

Culturing of polyclonally activated T lymphocytes for 7 days in vitro leads to telomere lengthening in CD8(+), but not CD4(+)lymphocytes. Under these conditions, CD8(+)lymphocytes more intensively express telomerase catalytic subunit protein (hTERT) and divide more often than CD4(+)lymphocytes. It changes the ratio of CD4(+)and CD8(+)subpopulations in favor of the latter by the end of culturing.
