medicine | granzyme B-deficient mice, and to a lesser extent perforin-deficient mice, exhibit a significant increase in the number of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells in the lungs and draining lymph nodes of virally infected animals. Viral titers in granzyme B-deficient mice are similar to wild-type mice and significantly less than perforin-deficient mice. Regulatory T cells from wild-type mice express high levels of granzyme B in response to infection, and depletion of regulatory T cells from these mice results in an increase in the number of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells, similar to that observed in granzyme B-deficient mice. Granzyme B-deficient regulatory T cells display defective suppression of CD8+ T cell proliferation in vitro | Mus musculus |
