Abstract
CD8+ T cells induced by Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites develop into protective memory cells without undergoing changes in interleukin-7 receptor α (IL-7Rα) expression, differing from the development of memory CD8+ T cells against viruses, which is associated with enhanced IL-7Rα expression. This suggests a microbe-dependent diversity in the signals determining the development of memory populations.
