Quantification of HSV1-specific CD107⁺CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cells in the superficial cervical and tracheobronchal LN of H. hepaticus-infected and noninfected mice after in vitro stimulation with OVA_257–264 or gB_498–505 peptide. (A and B) Percentage of CD107⁺CD8⁺ T cells expressed in terms of total population of CD8⁺ T cells and (C and D) absolute number of CD107⁺CD8⁺ T cells. Data (mean ± SE) were normalized to the percentage or absolute number of CD107⁺CD8⁺ T cells after gB_498–505 peptide stimulation of lymphoid cells from noninfected mice within each experiment (n = 5 mice per group). Results were combined from 2 independent experiments. P value was determined by using the unpaired t test.
