γHV68-specific memory CD8 T cells survive long-term without cognate Ag and mount a recall response. B6.PL mice received 1 × 106 CFSE-labeled CD44+CD8+ T cells isolated from the spleens of B6 mice that have been infected with γHV68 for at least 3 mo or from non-infected age-matched controls. The recipient B6.PL mice were rested for 60 days after adoptive cell transfer and subsequently infected with γHV68. FACS plots show the frequency of CD90.2+CD8+ T cells in PBLs and spleen at day 60 after adoptive transfer (left panel) and at day 14 after γHV68 infection (day 74 after adoptive cell transfer; right panel).
