1 Treatment with Tacr resulted in a decreased expression of costimulatory ligands and adhesion molecules (T cells: CD40L, p < 0.05; CD28 and CD54, p < or = 0.01; B cells: CD25, p = 0.05; CD40, p < 0.001; monocytes: CD40, p < 0.05), which coincided with decreased PHA-stimulated T cell IL-2 responses (398 +/- 153 versus 43 +/- 15 pg/ml, p < 0.05), impaired CD4 helper activity (117% +/- 22% versus 73% +/- 19%, p < 0.05) and increased CD4 suppressor activity (-120% +/- 28% versus -18% +/- 27%, p = 0.02).
