Upon transfer in mice and Listeria infection, short-term pharmacological intervention did not affect the kinetics (Figure 1J) but significantly skewed the CD8+ T cell response away from SLEC toward MPEC differentiation with more CD8+ T cells expressing the transcription factor TCF1 at day 7 post-infection and with more TCM differentiation at day 56 post-infection (Figures 1K–1N). Here, TCF7 is linked to infection.
