Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and non-replicating adenoviral vectors can induce expanded, sustained effector-memory CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell responses, termed "memory inflation". During murine CMV (MCMV) infection, CD4<sup>+</sup> Tcells maintain inflationary virus-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell responses via IL-2 but not IL-21. Adenovirus vector vaccination can induce phenotypically, functionally and transcriptionally similar inflationary responses, but it is not known how IL-21 influences the inflating ...[more]
