Memory profiles of CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood, spleen and liver of animals vaccinated with unadjuvanted and adjuvanted Ad-ME.TRAP. BALB/c mice (n = 8) were immunized intramuscularly with Ad-ME.TRAP (5 × 109 vp/dose), alone or adjuvanted with Abisco®-100 or CoVaccineHT. Proportion of Pb9-specific CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood, spleen and liver, and their memory profiles (TE, TEM and TCM) were evaluated by flow cytometry using Pb9-tetramer and surface markers CD127 and CD62L. The three memory cell subsets were defined as: TE = CD62LCD127, TEM = CD62LCD127+ and TCM = CD62L+CD127+. Representative FACS data are shown in the Supplementary Figure S2c. Ranked one-way ANOVA analysis (Kruskal-Wallis) with Dunn’s test for multiple comparisons was used to assess statistical significance of the differences between groups; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
