Immediate dysfunction of vaccine-elicited CD8+ T cells primed in the absence of CD4+ T cells

CD4(+) T cell help is critical for optimal CD8(+) T cell memory differentiation and maintenance in many experimental systems. In addition, many reports have identified reduced primary CD8(+) T cell responses in the absence of CD4(+) T cell help, which often coincides with reduced Ag or pathogen clea...
