DNAM-1 gene-deficient (-/-) mice take significantly longer to clear an acute and persistent LCMV infection in vivo than DNAM-1 +/+ mice. During acute LCMV priming, at the single cell level, DNAM-1 -/- mice made significantly less cytoplasmic CD8 TNF-α and IL-2 but not IFN-γ than their DNAM-1 +/+ counterparts. Restimulated immune memory CD8 T cells from DNAM-1 -/- and DNAM-1 +/+ mice were equivalent in cytolytic activity against LCMV-infected target cells but DNAM-1 -/- CD8 T cells had significant reductions in TNF-α and IL-2 that were associated on adoptive transfer with the inability to terminate the persistent viral infection.
DNAM-1 基因缺失(-/-)的小鼠在体内清除急性持续性 LCMV 感染的速度明显慢于 DNAM-1 +/+ 的小鼠。在急性 LCMV 启动阶段,在单细胞水平上,DNAM-1 -/- 的小鼠产生的细胞质 CD8 TNF-α 和 IL-2 明显少于其 DNAM-1 +/+ 的对应物,但 IFN-γ 没有差异。从 DNAM-1 -/- 和 DNAM-1 +/+ 的小鼠中重新刺激免疫记忆 CD8 T 细胞,其对 LCMV 感染靶细胞的细胞毒性活性相当,但 DNAM-1 -/- CD8 T 细胞中 TNF-α和 IL-2 的水平显著降低,这与不能终止持续性病毒感染有关。
