Ongoing efforts seek to clarify mechanisms of cellular resistance to these agents and develop vaccines. A major limitation in studying the development of protective T cells in this group of organisms is the lack of tools to detect, enumerate, and characterize fungus-specific T cells during vaccination and infection. We generated a TCR transgenic mouse (Bd 1807) whose CD4+ T cells respond to a native epitope in Blastomyces dermatitidis and also in Histoplasma capsulatum. In this study, we characterize the mouse, reveal its applications, and extend our analysis showing that 1807 cells also respond to the related dimorphic fungi Coccidioides posadasii and Paracoccidioides lutzii. On adoptive transfer into vaccinated wild-type mice, 1807 cells become activated, proliferate, and expand in the draining lymph nodes, and they differentiate into T1 effectors after trafficking to the lung upon lethal experimental challenge. Bd 1807 cells confer vaccine-induced resistance against B. dermatitidis, H. capsulatum, and C. posadasii. Transfer of naive 1807 cells at serial intervals postvaccination uncovered the prolonged duration of fungal Ag presentation. Using 1807 cells, we also found that the administration of vaccine only once induced a maximal pool of effector\/memory CD4+ cells and protective immunity by 4 wk after vaccination. The autologous adoptive transfer system described in this study reveals novel features of antifungal immunity and offers a powerful approach to study the differentiation of Ag-specific T cells responsive to multiple dimorphic fungi and the development of CD4+ T cell memory needed to protect against fungal infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1100921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,25]],"date-time":"2011-06-25T23:17:02Z","timestamp":1309043822000},"page":"1421-1431","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["A TCR Transgenic Mouse Reactive with Multiple Systemic Dimorphic Fungi"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"187","author":[{"given":"Marcel","family":"W\u00fcthrich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chiung Yu","family":"Hung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX 78249"},{"name":"South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX 78249"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ben H","family":"Gern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John C","family":"Pick-Jacobs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin J","family":"Galles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanna I","family":"Filutowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Garry T","family":"Cole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX 78249"},{"name":"South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, University of Texas at San Antonio , San Antonio, TX 78249"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruce S","family":"Klein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"},{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison , Madison, WI 53792"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032410255490700_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.immunol.19.1.23","article-title":"In vivo activation of antigen-specific CD4 T cells","volume":"19","author":"Jenkins","year":"2001","journal-title":"Annu.
