Whether IL-7 is a continued requirement for normal lymph node structure and function is unknown. To address this, we ablated IL-7 function in normal adult hosts. Either inducible <i>Il7</i> gene deletion or IL-7R blockade in adults resulted in a rapid loss of lymph node cellularity and a corresponding def ...[more]
