these data provide evidence that 1 ) csa and dex suppress the proliferation of t lymphocytes through distinct ( though perhaps overlapping ) mechanisms , 2 ) csa ( but not dex ) blocks the pha-mediated induction of signals necessary for t cells to become capable of proliferating in response to il 2 , and 3 ) t cells regulate the expression of their genes for il 2 and il 2 receptors , at least in part , through independent mechanisms .
