CD8 T cell can provide CD40L for Trm formation. (a) Rag−/− mice were adoptively transferred with splenocytes from wt or CD40L−/− mice, then following reconstitution, implanted sc. with PK51940 tumors. d14 tumors were harvested and analyzed for tumor infiltrating CD8 T cell phenotypes. Flow plots show representative CD103 expression in tumor CD8 T cells from mice reconstituted with (i) wt or (ii) CD40L−/− splenocytes. (iii) Summary of CD103 expression in tumor T cells. (b) Rag−/− mice were reconstituted with CD8-depleted CD40L−/− splenocytes, along with purified CD40L−/− CD8+ splenocytes, or purified wt CD8+ splenocytes. Following reconstitution, mice were implanted sc. with PK51940 tumors. d14 tumors were harvested and analyzed for tumor infiltrating CD8 T cell phenotypes. Flow plots show representative CD103 expression in tumor CD8 T cells from mice reconstituted with (i) CD40L−/− CD8 T cells, or (ii) wt CD8 T cells. (iii) Summary of CD103 expression in tumor T cells. . Key: ** = p < 0.01. Results are the combination of two experiments.
