In animal 817, the ability of virus-specific CD8+ T-cells to proliferate was highest in the jejunum and was higher than that observed in the same compartment in animal 819 (Fig.
The number of CD8+ T-cells with different specificities was also higher in animal 819 than 817 in the GALT and particularly in the jejunum and ileum lamina propria (Figs.
Jejunal glucose absorption was enhanced in patients with cystic fibrosis when measured with catheter perfusion techniques [ 25 ] . Ussing chamber studies of intact CF biopsy specimens suggest that glucose and alanine uptake rates are markedly increased in cystic fibrosis [ 26 ] .

The finding that the highest level of CD8+ T-cells with proliferative ability was in the lamina propria of the jejunum of animal 817 challenged intrarectally is suggestive of a qualitative difference of CD8+ T-cells present at the site of induction and of heterogeneity in the virus-specific CD8+ response.
