Diverse Microbial Exposure Enhances CD8+ T Cell Effector Memory Output and Function

Claire E. Thefaine, Erin D. Lucas, Katharine E. Block…·the immgenT project

The paper compares T cell landscapes in mice with normalized microbial exposure (NME) and specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions, finding increased effector memory CD8+ T cells in NME mice.
