Previous studies have demonstrated that macrophages and CD4+ T lymphocytes play pivotal roles in collateral development. Indirect evidence suggests that CD8+ T cells also play a role. Thus, after acute cerebral ischemia, CD8+ T cells infiltrate the perivascular space and secrete interleukin-16 (IL-16), a potent chemoattractant for monocytes and CD4+ T cells. We tested whether CD8+ T lymphocytes contribute to collateral vessel development and whether the lack of circulating CD8+ T cells prevents IL-16 expression, impairs CD4+ mononuclear cell recruitment, and reduces collateral vessel growth after femoral artery ligation in CD8(-/-) mice.
