T-bet–dependent dysfunction of unhelped memory CD8+ T cells. (A and B) Wild-type or Tbx21 −/− mice were left untreated (No Tx) or treated with CD4-depleting antibody (0.2 mg GK1.5 i.p.; CD4 depleted) 1 d before and 1 d after LCMV infection. (A) Surface phenotype of GP33-specific CD8+ T cells from spleens 90 d after infection. Plots show H-2DbGP33+ events; numbers represent the percentage of tetramer-positive cells expressing indicated surface marker. (B) Cytokine production of GP33-specific CD8+ T cells. Plots show CD8+ events; numbers indicate the percentage of cells producing both IFN-γ and IL-2 or CD40L in response to GP33-41. Results are representative of two independent experiments.
