Furthermore, treatment with antithymocyte globulin as a part of GVHD prophylaxis was associated with generally weaker STAT3 (Tyr705) responses and altered STAT3 (Ser727) responsiveness of CD3+CD4+ cells together with increased mTOR (Ser2448) responses for the CD3+CD8+ cells. The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is graft versus host disease.
