SIRPγlow CD8 T-cells have a lower activation threshold. PBMC samples from CT carriers were stimulated with varying concentration of anti-CD3, followed by intra-cellular flow cytometric analysis to detect cytokine production by SIRPγlow vs. SIRPγhigh gated subsets. SIRPγlow CD8 T-cells responded to sub-optimal (lower concentrations) anti-CD3 stimulation by producing significantly greater levels of effector cytokines and granzyme (A). SIRPγhigh CD8 T-cells responded to only optimum (higher concentration) anti-CD3 stimulation (B). 2-way ANOVA with Tukey’s posthoc test was performed and p < 0.05 was considered significant.
