(A) Expression of GzmB, T-bet, Ki-67, Bcl-2, and TCF-1 in splenic
effector OT-I cell subsets 9–10 days p.i. with LM.
(B) Expression of effector and memory signature genes in splenic OT-I
cell subsets 8–11 days p.i. with LM.
(C-E) Time-dependent expression of CX3CR1 and IL-7Rα
in OT-I cell subsets in the blood following LM infection.
(F) Normalized ATAC-seq signal profiles across 7 gene loci in splenic
naïve and effector OT-I cell subsets (8 days p.i. with LM). Peaks
differentially expressed between OT-I cell subsets are highlighted in grey.
Mean ± SEM are shown. * P < 0.05, **
P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001
(unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test). Data are
representative of 2–3 independent experiments with 4–8 mice (A,
C), pooled from 2–3 independent experiments with 3–11 mice per
time point (B, D, E), or 2 independent experiments with pooled cells from
2–3 mice (F). See also Figure S3.
