1 × 106 FACS-sorted stem-like (Blimp-1-YFPloTim3lo), terminally exhausted (Blimp-1-YFPhiTim3hi), memory precursor (KLRG1lo), and short-lived effector (KLRG1hi) P14 cells were used for ChIP analyses. More than ten mice from each infection were pooled for each sort. Two biological replicates of each CD8+ T cell population were collected. DNA-protein crosslinking, nuclei isolation, and chromatin sonication were performed using truChIP Chromatin Shearing Kit (Covaris) according to manufacturer’s instructions. After immunoprecipitation by anti-H3K27Ac (ab4729, AbCam), ChIPmentation was performed according to the published protocol50 (link). The libraries were sequenced for 50 cycles (single read) on a HiSeq 3000 (Illumina).
