| Research Abstract |
The induction of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs)-specific memory T cell and its maintenance are essential for ideal cancer immunotherapy. However, mechanism of memory T cell development remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of gene A in a murine Listeria monocytogenes infection model. As expected, gene A-deficient T cells exhibited high level of CD127 and CD62L expression after infection, leading to enhanced memory T cell formation. In addition, gene A-deficient memory T cells showed enhanced proliferative response after secondary infection.
