The Tumoricidal Activity of Memory CD8+ T Cells Is Hampered by Persistent Systemic Antigen, but Full Functional Capacity Is Regained in an Antigen-Free Environment
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Naive T cells can be tolerized in the periphery by diverse mechanisms. However, the extent to which memory T cells are susceptible to tolerance induction is less well defined. Vaccination of mice with a minimal CTL epitope derived from human adenovirus type 5 E1A in IFA s.c. readily tolerizes naive as well as recently activated CD8(+) T cells due to the overwhelming systemic and persistent presence of the...
