Fig 6. Survivor cells are not inherently resistant to CD8⁺ T cell killing.

Cre-inducible reporter mice were infected with IAV_Cre. (A) CD45^- reporter⁺ (red line) and reporter^- (grey shaded) cells were assessed for MHC-I (H-2K^b) surface expression. (B and C) JEDI T cells were transferred on 3 dpi and mice were vaccinated with AD_GFP and eGFP_200-208 peptide. (B) Number of CD45^- reporter^- cells at 10 dpi. (C) Number of CD45^- reporter⁺ cells at 10 dpi. The results (B and C) are compiled from two independent experiments with at least 3 mice per group per experiment (± SEM). Statistically significant differences (unpaired t test) between groups are represented by lines above the bars. ** p < 0.01.
