Signaling in Antigen-Specific CD8+ T Cells Responding to Infection1

Interdisciplinary Program in Immunology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242
IFN-
plays a critical role in the CD8+ T cell response to infection, but when and if this cytokine directly signals CD8+ T cells during an immune response is unknown. We show that naive Ag-specific CD8+ T cells receive IFN-
signals within 12 h after in vivo infection with Listeria monocytogenes and then become unresponsive to IFN-
throughout the ensuing Ag-driven expansion phase. Ag-specific CD8+ T cells regain partial IFN-
responsiveness throughout the contraction phase, whereas the memory pool exhibits uniform, but reduced, responsiveness that is also modulated during the secondary response. The responsiveness of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells to IFN-
correlated with modulation in the expression of IFN-
R2, but not with IFN-
R1 or suppressor of cytokine signaling-1. This dynamic regulation suggests that early IFN-
signals participate in regulation of the primary CD8+ T cell response program, but that evading or minimizing IFN-
signals during expansion and the memory phase may contribute to appropriate regulation of the CD8+ T cell response.
