A Role for CD40 Expression on CD8 + T Cells in the Generation of CD8 + T Cell Memory

Bourgeois, Christine, Rocha, Benedita, Tanchot, Corinne·2002·Science

Abstract

The delivery of CD4 help to CD8 + T cell responses requires interactions between CD40 and CD40 ligand and is thought to occur through antigen-presenting cell (APC) activation. Here we show that generation of memory CD8 + T cells displaying an enhanced capacity for cell division and cytokine secretion required CD4 help but not CD40 expression by the APCs. Activated CD4 + and CD8 + T cells expressed CD40; and in the absence of this protein, CD8 + T cells were unable to differentiate into memory cells or receive CD4 help. These results suggest that, like B cells, CD8 + T cells receive CD4 help directly through CD40 and that this interaction is fundamental for CD8 + T cell memory generation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
