N of Ifnar1+/+ as well as far more so of Ifnar1-/- P14 cells, indicating that CD8+ T cells that develop through MCMV infection are to a modest degree impacted by type I IFN signaling (in a somewhat redundant manner with B7-mediated costimulation) but are most critically dependent on B7-mediated signals (Figure 5F). Subsequent, we examined in the event the B7-dependent MCMV-specific CD8+ T cell response might be boosted via supplementary triggering of the type I IFN pathway. We used recombinant IFN2 that was functional both in vitro, as determined by a cytopathic impact inhibition assay (Figure 5–figure supplement 1A), and in vivo as evidenced by increased expression of CD69 on lymphocytes at 18 hr upon i.p. administration (Figure 5–figure supplement 1B). Addition of recombinant type I IFN on day 1 and two during MCMV-IE2-GP33 infection in mice that received Ifnar1+/+ and Ifnar1-/- P14 cells, caused no substantial increase in the expansion of the P14 cells either transferred in WT or Cd80/86-/- mice, indicating that further type I IFN signaling has negligible influence on B7-mediated signals that drive T cell expansion in MCMV infection (Figure 5F). Administration of recombinant variety I IFN throughout peptide vaccination, however, improved GP33specific CD8+ T cell expansion, which indicated that IFN is able to enhance T cell expansion inside a low inflammatory context (Figure 5G). To examine when the dependence of T cell expansion on B7-mediated costimulatory signals might be changed by other soluble elements than form I IFN, serum of mice that have been infected for 2 days with LCMV was transferred to MCMV-infected WT and Cd80/86-/- mice. Even so, no variations wereWelten et al. eLife 2015;4:e07486.
