Abstract excerpt
One goal of immunization is to generate memory CD8 T cells of sufficient quality and quantity to confer protection against infection. It has been shown that memory CD8 T cell differentiation in vivo is controlled, at least in part, by the amount and duration of infection, Ag, and inflammatory cytokines present early after the initiation of the response. In this study, we used models of anti-vectorial immunity to...
