   To help those of us who might want to reply to your questions perhaps you
would supply the following information.
   (i) How many T cell subsets do you recognize?
  (ii) What is T cell subset "polarization"?
 (iii) How are you carrying out your "in vivo depletion" experiments?

   Sincerely,   Don Forsdyke
