Project description:We report the transcriptional profile of phosphatidylserine (PS) positive and PS negative CD44+CD62L- effector CD8+ T cells from LCMV-Armstrong infected mice sorted from spleens on day5 amd day10 after infection. PS was stained in vivo by injection of MFG-E8-eGFP. PS+ cells acquire PS through binding of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Binding of EVs by effector CD8+ T cells is strongly enhanced during LCMV infection and peaks between day5 and day10 post infection. Effector T cell gene signature is increased in EV+ CD8+ T cells compared to their EV- counterparts.
