T cell factor 1 (TCF-1) is a transcription factor known to act downstream of the canonical Wnt pathway and is essential for normal T cell development. However, its physiological roles in mature CD8(+) T cell responses are unknown. Here we showed that TCF-1 deficiency limited proliferation of CD8(+) effector T cells and impaired their differentiation toward a central memory phenotype. Moreover, TCF-1-deficient memory CD8(+) T cells were progressively lost over time, exhibiting reduced expression ...[more]
