Long-lived memory CD8+ T cells are programmed by prolonged antigen exposure and low levels of cellular activation.
CD8+ T cells play a crucial role in controlling intracellular pathogens. The level of memory CD8+ T cells developing after vaccination or infection influences the degree of T cell-mediated protection after secondary infection. We used defined animal models and infections/immunizations by replicating...
