The study aims to differentiate between TCR-dependent and independent effects of bystander activation on CD8 memory T cells.
Utilized TCR signaling inhibitors and CRISPR/Cas9 to target CD3e during T cell priming.
Conducted in vitro stimulations and in vivo infections to activate CD8 memory T cells.
Examined downstream effects of bystander activation on TCR signaling and co-inhibitory molecule expression.
Bystander activation was shown to induce cytotoxicity independently of TCR and downstream signaling components.
Intact TCR expression was required for the expression of co-inhibitory molecules like PD-1 during bystander activation.
Inflammation may lower the TCR activation threshold, thus influencing T cell responses.
