Vaccine Infection T cell Comparison
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Protection from pathogens relies on both humoral (antibody-mediated) and cellular (T cell-mediated) responses. While infections robustly elicit both of these types of immunity, currently approved vaccine adjuvants largely fail to induce significant T cell responses. However, recent work by our lab and others suggests that the mechanisms governing vaccine-elicited T cells (Tvac) may be substantially different than those governing infection-elicited T cells (Tinf). We have recently demonstrated that optimal subunit vaccine-elicited T cell responses rely on different cytokine signals (IL-27 and 15) and metabolic function (oxidative phosphorylation vs. aerobic glycolysis) leading to phenotypically and functionally different outcomes (memory vs. effector). Our goal was to investigate the transcriptional programming that promotes Tvac formation. Using a bulk RNAsequencing approach we compared WT Tvac at day 3 post immunization to Tvac where IL-27 or IL-15 signaling was absent, to Tinf at day 4 post infectious challenge, or to naive OT-1 T cells.
