However, what allows a subset of effector T cells to survive the contraction period to become memory cells is incompletely understood. The Bcl-2 family is critical for T cell survival, and Bcl-2 has been proposed to be important for the survival of memory cells. However, previous studies have relied on double-knockout models, potentially skewing the role of Bcl-2, and the use of Bcl-2 as a marker in adoptive transfer experiments, a method required to confirm the memory potential of cell subsets, has not been possible because of the intracellular localization of the protein. In this study, we present a novel Bcl-2 reporter mouse model and, to our knowledge, show for the first time that a distinct subset of effector T cells, and also a subset within the CD127hiKLRG1lo memory precursor effector cell population, retains high Bcl-2 expression at the peak of the CD8+ T cell response to Listeria monocytogenes. Furthermore, we show that Bcl-2 correlates with memory potential in adoptive transfer experiments using both total responding CD8+ T cells and memory precursor effector cells. These results show that even within the memory precursor effector cell population, Bcl-2 confers a survival advantage in a subset of effector CD8+ T cells that allows differentiation into memory cells and cement Bcl-2 as a critical factor for T cell memory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1103481","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,26]],"date-time":"2012-12-26T20:35:47Z","timestamp":1356554147000},"page":"940-947","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Transfer of CD8+ T Cell Memory Using Bcl-2 as a Marker"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"190","author":[{"given":"Alexis","family":"Dunkle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Duke University Medical Center , Durham, NC 27710"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Dzhagalov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Duke University Medical Center , Durham, NC 27710"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Gordy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Duke University Medical Center , Durham, NC 27710"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"You-Wen","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Duke University Medical Center , Durham, NC 27710"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032406282007500_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"46","DOI":"10.1007\/s12026-008-8027-z","article-title":"Intrinsic and extrinsic control of effector T cell survival and memory T cell development","volume":"45","author":"Hand","year":"2009","journal-title":"Immunol.
