Trmq2 was also seen weakly in the analyses of F2 mice, giving a peak LOD score near 2. However, the H2 region on c17 was associated with the ratio in BC animals at a suggestive level with a maximum LOD score of 2. To confirm the linkage of Trmq1 with CD4:CD8 ratios and to assess the potency of this locus as a candidate for congenic dissection, additional testcross animals.
These animals were then sacrificed and their lymph node CD4:CD8 ratios were measured. These findings provide some interesting insights into processes regulating the homeostasis of CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets in mice. The poor correlation of the CD4:CD8 ratios between these two populations suggests that they are predominantly influenced by distinct genetic and molecular mechanisms, an idea which was confirmed by the observed differences in linkage results.
In this regard, the independent segregation of the CD4:CD8 ratio of thymic precursors in comparison to that of mature T cells in the periphery indicates that significant compensatory adjustments in the sizes of these T cell subsets are made as these subsets expand and populate the peripheral lymphatics.
Several previous reports have analyzed the genetic factors that control CD4:CD8 ratios in mice. In this regard, it is interesting that Bcl-xl maps to chromosome 2, although to a region that is somewhat distal to that identified in the mapping described here.
The positions of the two named loci, Trmq1 and Trmq2 , are presented in Figure 5. The relevance of these genes to the phenotypes mediated by these allelic intervals is purely conjectural at this stage. Candidate genes in Trmq1 and Trmq2 intervals. This test was performed on test progeny produced at the University of Florida, while the original mapping study was performed with mice produced at the University of Colorado.
Although the CD4:CD8 ratio values detected differed somewhat in the two colonies, essentially the same results were obtained. This confirmation test also allows an initial assessment of the feasibility of utilizing congenic dissection to further characterize Trmq1. Since the production of congenic strains is a time-consuming and costly enterprise, data supporting the potential value of this approach for the analysis of a specific phenotype early in the process is of significant valuable.
Our results with Trmq1 support the feasibility of producing an appropriate congenic strain as a strategy to characterize its individual phenotype. Finally, the testcross progeny groups produced via genotype-phenotype assessment could also be used for a comparison of gene expression profiles in the affected target tissue.
This might provide interesting preliminary information about the molecular mechanisms mediating the phenotype, especially if powerful positional candidates were present within the relevant intervals.
Animals for the genotype-phenotype assessment experiments were housed in a conventional colony at the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Thymus, spleen, and the combined inguinal, axillary, and brachial lymph nodes from 4 to 8 week old animals were used to make single cell suspensions. Lymphocytes were gated using forward and side scatter and 10 5 lymphocytes were counted.
DNA was extracted from liver for genotyping. SSCP loci were selected from microsatellite loci identified as being polymorphic http:www-genome. Standard PCR was performed at experimentally determined optimal annealing temperature for each primer pair. Criteria for declaring a significant linkage association in a mapping cross followed guidelines suggested by Lander and Krugylak. Lymph nodes inguinal from 4 to 8 week old animals were used to make single cell suspensions, and 1.
Staining was repeated with avidin-quantum red. Analysis of stained cells was carried out as above, but CD3 staining instead of TCR staining was used to create the second gate.

Age-related changes in T cell surface markers: a longitudinal analysis in genetically heterogeneous mice Mech Ageing Dev 96 : — These non-specific bystander CD8 T cells have a prominent role in tumor clearance as has been previously shown [ 5 , 6 ].
In order to reconcile this, however, we show that the phenotype of T cells in the tumor is comparable to that in the tissues thus highlighting the relevance of using tissues that are often targets of metastatic sites i.
Altogether, we show that following cancer immunotherapy we can observe a similar population of bystander activated CD8 T cells whose expression of different key activation markers varies greatly depending upon their location within the body and the composition of the memory T cell pool at that location.
Therefore, the composition of the memory pool at different sites weighed heavily on the overall expression of those markers in the memory pool. Finally, expression of activation markers and T cell memory phenotype distribution changes over the course of a lifespan with variables such as age, body fat content, and pathogen status such as SPF vs non-SPF , among other things.
Now that we are beginning to appreciate the impact of each of these conditions on responses to infectious disease, responses to immunomodulatory treatments, and even the maintenance of homeostasis as compared to young, non-obese, SPF counterparts , it is important to understand and assess how differences at baselines can affect outcomes across all organs. For example, obese and aged mice generally express elevated PD-1 [ 23 ] and manuscript in progress on T cells and have been shown to have a skewed memory phenotype [ 23 — 25 ].
In conclusion, we have presented data herein illustrating the differences in activation marker expression based on memory phenotype which varies between lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs both at rest and during an active immune response. These data underscore the necessity to thoroughly investigate both lymphoid and peripheral sites before drawing conclusions based on cell phenotype and function. In summary, we show that there can be significant differences in T cell phenotype based on location of the cells within lymphoid organs or at peripheral sites.
