Relative importance of rotavirus -
specific effector and
memory B cell responses in protection against challenge.
Although similar numbers of total splenic gp33 - LCMV —
specific T cells were observed between genotypes (Fig. 5B), the distribution of gp33 - LCMV —
specific CD8 + T cell
effector and
memory subsets were altered, such that there was a significantly lower percentage of short - term
effector T cells and reciprocal changes in
memory precursor cells among gp33 - specifc CD8 + T cells in WT relative to DKO mice (Fig. 5C), with a trend in changes in absolute cell numbers, consistent with temporal data from peripheral blood (Fig. 5A).
Six weeks postinfection, splenocytes were analyzed for gp33 - LCMV —
specific total CD8 + T cells (B) or short - lived
effector cells and
memory precursor
effector cells (C).
Consistent with prior reports on
effector cells (35), we observed that, among CD8 + T cells
specific for the dominant epitope of LCMV (GP33), the percentages of short - lived
effector cells (KLRG1 + CD127 −) were increased, and the percentages of
memory precursor cells (KLRG1 + CD127 +) were decreased in the peripheral blood of DGKζ − / −, Cbl - b − / −, and DKO mice relative to WT mice after acute infection (Fig. 5A).
Furthermore, CMV -
specific CTL have a highly polarized membrane phenotype that is typical of
effector memory cells (CD28 -LRB--), CD57 (+), CCR7 -LRB--)-RRB-.
