Effect of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Ageing on T-Bet and Eomes Expression on T-Cell Subsets

The differential impact of ageing and cytomegalovirus (CMV) latent infection on human T-cell subsets remains to some extent controversial. The purpose of this study was to analyse the expression of the transcription factors T-bet and Eomes and CD57 on CD4+, CD4hiCD8lo and CD8+ T-cell subsets in healthy individuals, stratified by age and CMV serostatus. The percentage of CD4+ T-cells expressing ...

Anti-proliferative Activity of T-bet

T-bet is a critical transcription factor that regulates differentiation of Th1 cells from CD4(+) precursor cells. Since T-bet directly binds to the promoter of the IFN-γ gene and activates its transcription, T-bet deficiency impairs IFN-γ production in Th1 cells. Interestingly, T-bet-deficient Th cells also display substantially augmented the production of IL-2, a T cell growth factor. Exogenou...
