In line with what we detected in MLN (Figure 4E), IFNARKO mice harboured equal numbers of RV-specific CD8 T cells in the SILP seven days post infection (Figure 5A) and 14 days post infection (Figure 5B), suggesting that type I IFN signaling was dispensable for CD8 effector T cell localization to, and maintenance at, the effector site. This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and infection.
