Although specific CD8+ T cells infected expressed higher levels of CXCR3 on cell surface, CD8+ T-cells from the immunized group had a higher migration index compared to specific CD8+ T cells generated only by infection, after the ex vivo stimulation with CXCL9 and CXCL10, but not with CXCL11. Here, CXCL11 is linked to infection.
