Abstract excerpt
It is currently believed that a brief antigenic stimulation is sufficient to induce CD8 T cells to complete their differentiation program, become effector T cells, and subsequently generate memory. Because this concept was derived from studies in which only a single effector function was analyzed (either IFN-gamma production or target cell lysis), we wondered whether monitoring for multiple effector functions...
