Six-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were purchased from NCI or Charles River Laboratories. B6.129S2-CD8atm1Mak/J(CD8-deficient), B6.129S7-Ifngtm1Ts/J (IFN-γ-deficient) and C57BL/6-Pfptm1Sdz (perforin-deficient) mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratories. B6.129P2-H2-Kbtm1H2-Dbtm1N12 (MHCI-deficient) mice were purchased from Taconic. gBT-I TCR transgenic mice specific for the glycoprotein B epitope gB(498–505)45 (link) were provided by F.R. Carbone and W.R. Heath and bred in our facility to C57BL/6-Ly5.2Cr mice (CD45.1+) (NCI). Mgl2+/DTR-GFP (Mgl2DTR/GFP) animals have been previously described13 (link).
