Abstract excerpt
Single Ag-specific CD8+ T cells from IFN-gamma-deficient (GKO) or perforin-deficient (PKO) mice provide substantial immunity against murine infection with Listeria monocytogenes. To address the potential for redundancy between perforin and IFN-gamma as CD8+ T cell effector mechanisms, we generated perforin/IFN-gamma (PKO/GKO) double-deficient mice. PKO/GKO-derived CD8+ T cells specific for the immunodominant...
