Distinct activation programs in naive and memory CD8 T cells govern stemness and effector persistence of their progeny

Eva Šályová, Darina Paprčková, Juraj Michalik, Veronika Niederlová, Veronika Cimermanova, Kateřina Tomicová, Ales Drobek, Vojtech Racek, Alena Moudrá, Anna Kratochvilova, Michaela Krupková, Radislav Sedláček, Ondřej Štěpánek

The paper shows that prior antigen exposure redirects CD8 T-cell activation programs, shaping progeny fate and persistence through distinct stemness and effector programs in naive and memory cells.

LCK deficiency in CD8 T cells leads to reduced proliferation and increased effector T-cell formation in mice

Valeria Uleri, Vojtech Racek, Marta Popovic, Anna Morales Mendez, Veronika Niederlová, Arina Andreyeva, Juraj Michalik, Nadine M. Woessner, Michaela Krupková, Radislav Sedláček, Susana Minguet, Ondřej Štěpánek

This study shows that LCK deficiency in CD8 T cells reduces proliferation but increases effector T-cell formation in mice, revealing its dual role in T-cell responses.
