Functional heterogeneity in CD4+ T cell responses against a bacterial pathogen

To investigate how CD4+ T cells function against a bacterial pathogen, we generated a Listeria monocytogenes-specific CD4+ T cell model. In this system, two TCRtg mouse lines, LLO56 and LLO118 recognize the same immunodominant epitope (LLO190-205) of Listeria monocytogenes and have identical in vitr...
