Thus, despite that the LM-specific CD8+ T cell response directed to other epitopes than GP33 epitope is considerably smaller as the LCMV-specific CD8+ T cell response because LCMV elicits large responses to a broad array of antigens other than GP33, we noticed that the observations made with GP33-specific CD8+ T cells are reflected in the analysis of the total CD8+ T cells in both infections. Here, CD8A is linked to infection.
