IL-15 and IL-15R
are required for generation of
memory-phenotype CD8 T cells in unimmunized mice. However, the role of
IL-15 in primary expansion and generation of Ag-specific memory CD8 T
cells in vivo has not been investigated. We characterized the CD8 T
cell response against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in
IL-15-/- and IL-15R
-/- mice.
Surprisingly, IL-15 was required for primary expansion of VSV-specific
CD8 T cells. The generation of VSV-specific memory CD8 T cells was also
impaired without IL-15 signaling, and this defect correlated with a
decrease in memory CD8 T cell turnover. Despite minimal proliferation
without IL-15, a subset of memory cells survived long-term. IL-15R
expression was low on naive CD8 T cells, up-regulated on Ag-specific
effector cells, and sustained on memory cells. Thus, IL-15 was
important for the generation and the subsequent maintenance of
antiviral memory CD8 T cells.
