Antigen presentation within the lymph node draining a site of infection is crucial for initiation of cytotoxic T cell responses. Precisely how this antigen presentation regulates T cell expansion in vivo is unclear. Here, we show that, in primary infection, antigen presentation peaks -3 days postinfection and then slowly decays until day 12. This prolonged antigen presentation is required for optimal expansion of naive CD8(+) T cells, because early ablation of clendritic cells reduces the later CD8(+) T cell response. Antigen presentation during secondary infection was 10-fold lower in magnitude and largely terminated by day 4 postinfection. Expansion of memory, but not naive, antigen-specific T cells was tightly controlled by perforin-dependent cytolysis of antigen-presenting cells. The ability of the memory T cells to remove antigenpresenting cells provides a negative-feed back loop to directly limit the duration of antigen presentation in vivo.
