Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneous differentiation patterns of individual CD8+ T cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, even for T cells bearing identical T cell receptors, both clonal expansion and differentiation patterns are heterogeneous, and individual naïve T lymphocytes contributed differentially to short- and long-term protection, as revealed by participation of their progeny during primary versus recall infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

One naive T cell, multiple fates in CD8+ T cell differentiation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that under all conditions tested, individual naive T cells yield both effector and memory CD8+ T cell progeny, which indicates that effectors and memory fate decisions are not determined by the nature of the priming antigen-presenting cell or the time of T cell priming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative assessment of T cell repertoire recovery after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

TL;DR: The combined use of 5′ rapid amplification of complementary DNA ends PCR with deep sequencing to quantify TCR diversity in 28 recipients of allo-HSCT using a single oligonucleotide pair provides unprecedented views of T cell repertoire recovery after allo -HSCT and may identify patients at high risk of infection or relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Gamma Interferon Independent Mechanism of CD4 T Cell Mediated Control of M. tuberculosis Infection in vivo

TL;DR: Results imply a previously unrecognized IFNγ/TNF independent pathway that efficiently controls Mtb and suggest that optimization of this alternative effector function may provide new therapeutic avenues to combat Mtb through vaccination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recruitment of Antigen-Specific CD8+ T Cells in Response to Infection Is Markedly Efficient

TL;DR: Naïve T cell recruitment is highly efficient, and the magnitude of antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses is primarily controlled by clonal expansion, which is determined by labeling naïve T cells with unique genetic tags and transferring them into mice.
