The difference in the expansion of WT and IFN-IR0 CD8 T cells in response to viral infection was observed in IFN-IR0 and heterozygous hosts. 35,000 each of WT (Ly5.1) and IFN-IR0 P14 CD8 T cells (Ly5.2) were cotransferred into littermate IFN-R+/+, IFN-IR+/−, or IFN-IR−/− hosts (Ly5.2) and assessed for their expansion in response to LCMV infection. (A) The ratio of WT/IFN-IR0 P14 donor CD8 T cells was analyzed by gating on MHC tetramer–positive CD8 T cells and assessing Ly5.1 staining among V β8 TCR-positive cells (P14 CD8 T cells express V β8 TCR). The average recovery of IFN-R+/− and IFN-IR−/− P14 donor CD8 T cells per spleen is indicated in parenthesis (n = 3 per group). (B) Spleen viral titers at different times after infection. Each dot represents an individual mouse. IFN-IR expression heterozygosity was confirmed by PCR.
