Infection-induced type I interferons critically modulate the homeostasis and function of CD8+ naïve T cells

Infections induce activation of naïve T cells for protective immunity, but insights for this host-pathogen crosstalk are still missing. Here the authors show that infection-induced type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling promote the differentiation, expansion and functional maturation of naïve CD8 T cel...
