Abstract

See full text

This invention provides a recombinant non-human animal lacking the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor function of p27.sup.Kip1 and the method for producing the same. This invention also provides a method for increasing the proliferation of the thymic T-cells by treating the thymic T-cells to eliminate the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibition function of p27.sup.Kip1. This invention also provides a method for increasing the proliferation of hematopoietic cells which comprises treating the hematopoietic cells to eliminate the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor function of p27.sup.Kip1, thereby increasing the proliferation of the hematopoietic cells. This invention further provides a method for alleviating symptoms of an AIDS patient comprising steps of: a) collecting the lymphocytes or other cells from an AIDS patient; b) treating the collected cells to eliminate the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibition function of p27.sup.Kip1; and c) re-introducing the treated cells to the AIDS patient.
