Understanding the factors that regulate the induction, quality and longevity of anti-viral T cell responses is essential for devising rational strategies to prevent or combat infections. In this study we show that interleukin-21 (IL-21), likely produced by CD4+ T cells, directly influences the generation of poly-functional CD8+ T cells and that the number of CD4+ T cells that produce IL-21 differs markedly between acute and chronic infections. Strikingly, IL-21 regulates the development of CD8+ T cell exhaustion and the ability to contain chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection. Thus, IL-21 serves as a critical helper factor that shapes the functional quality of anti-viral CD8+ T cells and is required for viral control.
