Abstract excerpt
IFN-gamma-producing CD8(+) T lymphocytes are essential effector cells that mediate protective immunity during murine toxoplasmosis, and yet their effector development remains poorly characterized. Vaccination with the carbamoyl phosphate synthase (CPS) mutant strain of Toxoplasma gondii was used to examine the CD8(+) T cell response in the peritoneal effector site. Four CTL subpopulations with varying effector...
