RESUMO

Intimin-conjugated fluorescent beads bind to spleen CD4 T cells and Peyer's patch, mesenteric lymph node, and cecal follicle lymphocytes, with less binding to lamina propria T cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes. Intimin costimulates proliferation of spleen CD4 T cells and cells from organized lymphoid tissues but does not costimulate cells from the lamina propria of normal or inflamed colon.
