Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular bacterium
that causes systemic infections after traversing the intestinal mucosa.
Clearance of infection and long term protective immunity are mediated
by L. monocytogenes-specific CD8 T lymphocytes. In this
report, we characterize the murine CD8 T cell response in the lamina
propria and intestinal epithelium after enteric L.
monocytogenes infection. We find that the frequency of MHC
class Ia-restricted, L. monocytogenes-specific T cells
is 
4- to 5-fold greater in the lamina propria than in the spleen of
mice after oral or i.v. infection. Although the kinetics of T cell
expansion and contraction are similar in spleen, lamina propria, and
intestinal epithelium, high frequencies of Ag-specific T cells are
detected only in the lamina propria 1 mo after infection. In contrast
to MHC class Ia-restricted T cells, the frequency of H2-M3-restricted,
L. monocytogenes-specific T cells is decreased in the
intestinal mucosa relative to that found in the spleen. In addition to
this disparity, we find that MHC class Ia-restricted CD8 T cells
specific for a dominant L. monocytogenes epitope have
different TCR V
repertoires in the spleen and intestinal mucosa of
individual mice. These findings indicate that the intestinal mucosa is
a depot where L. monocytogenes-specific effector CD8 T
cells accumulate during and after infection irrespective of
immunization route. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that CD8 T
cell populations in these two sites, although overlapping in Ag
specificity, are distinct in terms of their
repertoire.
