CD8+ T cells clear influenza virus by perforin or Fas-dependent processes

Topham, D J, Tripp, R A, Doherty, P C·1997·The Journal of Immunology

Abstract

Influenza virus infection is controlled in CD4-depleted mice that are also defective for the expression of either Fas (Fas-/-) or perforin (P-/-). Virus-immune P+/+ and P-/- CD8+ T cells can thus function in, respectively, a Fas-/- or Fas+/+ lung environment. The obvious question is whether the P-/- CD8+ set is effective in Fas-/- mice, a conclusion that would tend to favor cytokine secretion as the mode of virus clearance. Short term chimeras were made with P-/- bone marrow, P+/+ or P-/- T cells, and Fas+/+ or Fas-/- irradiated recipients. While the P+/+ CD8+ population cleared the virus from Fas+/+ and Fas-/- respiratory epithelium, the P-/- effectors were operational only if there was the potential for Fas to be expressed on radiation-resistant lung cells. Target cell destruction mediated via the Fas or perforin pathways is clearly the primary mechanism used by CD8+ T cells to terminate this viral pneumonia.

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.
