additional information | construction of functional fluorescent chimeric GZMB-Tomato (GZMB-Tom) fusion protein. The GZMB-Tom knock-in mice in which GZMB-Tom faithfully reproduce GZMB expression, provide useful tools to dissect mechanisms leading to the development of anti-bacterial effector and memory CD8+ T-cells and reactivation of the memory response to cognate antigen or inflammatory signals. The use of CD8+ T-cells from knock in mice expressing a functional fluorescent chimeric GZMB-Tom protein in place of GZMB allow the evaluation of the induction of GZMB during CD8+ T-cell differentiation as a function of T-cell division. Mice homozygous for GZMB-Tom and heterozygous for the OT1 (GZMB-Tom-OT1) or OT2 (GZMB-Tom-OT2) transgenic T-cell receptors are used. Congenic C57BL/6 (CD45.1) mice are used as recipients | Mus musculus |

physiological function | both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells respond to Listeria monocytogenes, but unlike poorly responding CD4+ T-cells, CD8+ T-cells readily proliferate and express high levels of recombinant chimeric GZMB-Tom as early as 2 days after infection. Using the GZMBTom-OT1 T cells, rapid CD8+ T-cell division and expression of GZMB-Tom following intravenous infection with ActA-/OVA bacteria | Mus musculus |
