Abstract excerpt
B6.H-2Kb-/-Db-/- (DKO) mice have greatly reduced numbers of mature CD8alphabeta T cells in their periphery. However, these non-class Ia-selected CD8alphabeta T cells are able to mediate immune responses to a number of pathogens. Approximately 60% of the CD8alphabeta T cells in the spleen and peripheral lymph nodes of naive DKO mice display a memory (CD44high) phenotype. To investigate the origins of these...
