Amongst mature peripheral T cells, there was a substantial and specific reduction in the CD8 T cell compartment, which included naive, central memory and virtual memory subsets. Using a tamoxifen-inducible CD8CreERT to delete Casp8 revealed an acute requirement for continued CASPASE8 expression for survival of a fraction of mature CD8 T cells. Analysing Casp8-deficient mice that express a kinase dead RIPK1 suggested that in vivo, necroptosis contributed to death of thymic progenitors and CD8EM and CD8CM subsets. However, kinase dead RIPK1 failed to restore NKT cell development or rescue the loss of CD4EM and CD4CM in mixed bone marrow chimeras, and only partially rescued CD8 VM T cell.<\/jats:p>\n
