Despite robust secondary T cell expansion primed by vaccination, the impact on primary immune responses to heterotypic antigens remains undefined. Here we show that secondary expansion of epitope-specific memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells primed by prior infection with recombinant pathogens limits the primary expansion of naive CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells with specificity to new heterologous antigens, dampening protective immunity against subsequent pathogen challenge. The degree of naive T cell repres ...[more]
