摘要: Transcriptional silencing mediated by DNA methylation is a critical component of epigenetic regulation during early embryonic development in animals. However, the requirement for activation and differentiation mature CD8+ T cells into effector memory not clear. Using cre-mediated deletion methyltransferase 1 ( Dnmt1 ) at time cell activation, we investigated obligation maintaining patterns generation Ag-specific response to acute viral infection mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. −/− failed undergo massive expansion characteristic virus infection, leading >80% reductions height response. Despite this, efficiently controlled infection. Interestingly, number was moderately reduced compared seen day 8 postinfection. Our data suggest that ablation subsequent affect finite proliferative potential moderate effects on their cells.
