CD8+ T Cells from Mice Transnuclear for a TCR that Recognizes a Single H-2Kb-Restricted MHV68 Epitope Derived from gB-ORF8 Help Control Infection

To study the CD8+ T cell response against a mouse γ-herpes virus, we generated Kb-MHV-68-ORF8604–612RAG−/− CD8+ T cell receptor transnuclear (TN) mice as a source of virus-specific CD8+ T cells. Kb-ORF8-Tet+ CD8+ T cells, expanded in the course of a resolving MHV-68 infection, served as a source of...
