CD8 аnd Other T Cell Respоnses. An enhаncer 32 kilоbаses (kb) dоwnstream of the Irf8 transcriptional start site (+32-kb Irf8) is required for the development of cDC1 dendritic cells that are known to be involved in cross-presentation and the activation of anti-viral cytotoxic T cells (CTL) cells. The knockout of the +32-kb enhancer leads to a diminished cDC1 population but a normal cDC2 population (for CD4 T cell priming and activation). Assume that both wild-type (WT) and +32-kb-knockout (KO) littermate mice are infected with the same amount of an extracellular Virus A, and that CD8+ CTL activation is required for clearance of virus A-infected cells. Can +32-kb-knockout mice clear Virus A? Please explain briefly why or why not the +32-kb-knockout mice can clear Virus A. (4 points) Assume that Virus A infection in WT mice only produces viral antigens with relatively low affinity to CD8+ T cells, and CD4+ helper T cells are required for the full activation of naïve CD8+ T cells. Please briefly describe the process by which CD4+ T cells license dendritic cells to fully activate CD8 T+ Please focus on the signal transduction (1) from CD4+ T cells to DCs and (2) from DC to CD8+ T cells. (5 points) T cell memory can last months to years in mice (or decades in humans). The same Virus A-infected WT mice from part B are re-infected with Virus A after 3 months and get cleared in several days due to fast memory response. Assuming that you can adoptively transfer memory CD8+ T cells from Virus A-infected WT mice to +32-kb-knockout mice, do you think these memory CD8+ T cells can still clear Virus A in the infected +32-kb-knockout mice? Please explain why or why not. (4 points)
