Description:
Chronic infections strain the regenerative capacity of antiviral T lymphocyte populations, leading to failure in long-term immunity. The cellular and molecular events controlling this regenerative capacity, however, are unknown. We found that two distinct states of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells exist in chronically infected mice and humans. Differential expression of the T-box transcription factors T-bet and Eomesodermin (Eomes) facilitated the cooperative maintenance of the pool of antiviral CD8(+) T cells during chronic viral infection. T-bet(hi) cells displayed low intrinsic turnover but proliferated in response to persisting antigen, giving rise to Eomes(hi) terminal progeny. Genetic elimination of either subset resulted in failure to control chronic infection, which suggests that an imbalance in differentiation and renewal could underlie the collapse of immunity in humans with chronic infections.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3653769/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3653769/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Paley, Michael A -- Kroy, Daniela C -- Odorizzi, Pamela M -- Johnnidis, Jonathan B -- Dolfi, Douglas V -- Barnett, Burton E -- Bikoff, Elizabeth K -- Robertson, Elizabeth J -- Lauer, Georg M -- Reiner, Steven L -- Wherry, E John -- 059312/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- AI061699/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI0663445/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI076458/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI078897/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI082630/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI083022/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200500030C/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200500030C/PHS HHS/ -- P01 AI078897/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA016520/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK043351/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI042370/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI061699/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI076458/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007632/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32-AI-07324/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI082630/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI083022/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Nov 30;338(6111):1220-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1229620.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Institute for Immunology, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23197535" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
