Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Immune L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ lymphocytes play an important role in the acquired resistance of mice to challenge with virulent Candida albicans, and release macrophage-activating cytokines in response to yeast cells in vitro. To determine whether antigen (Ag)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes are generated during fungal infection, purified L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ lymphocytes from immunized mice were cultured in the presence of syngeneic accessory cells, Candida Ag, and IL-2. Yeast-infected bone marrow macrophages and peritoneal exudate neutrophils were used as target cells in a standard Cr release assay. Ag-specific, MHC-unrestricted lysis of infected macrophages was evident with immune Lyt-2+ cells after 5-10 days in culture. Under the same experimental conditions, the cytotoxic activity of L3T4+ cells was negligible, but its expression could be induced by the addition of anti-CD3 antibody. Culturing immune Lyt-2+ cells for shorter periods of time (1-2 days) resulted in preferential lysis of infected neutrophils. In addition, at limiting effector cell numbers, Ag-specific MHC-restricted lymphocytes with cytotoxic activity to infected macrophages could be identified. We suggest that C. albicans infection stimulates multiple cytotoxic T-cell precursors with varying recognition stringency, wich may have an important role in antifungal resistance in vivo. © 1992 Gustav Fischer.
