The precise timing of T cell priming during infection remains unclear. Here, we mapped the cellular dynamics of all immune lineages during acute infection with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). We identified highly transient DC activation 2 days post-infection that functions as a critical time window for priming effector T cells. Regulation of this transient state was mediated by DC extrinsic IFN{gamma} provided by lymphocytes. Furthermore, antigen-specific T cells that arrive late to the site of priming and miss peak DC activation acquire only memory T cell fates. This temporal regulation of fate is recapitulated by CD8+ DCs ex vivo, suggesting that shifts in activation state of a single antigen presenting cell population alter T cell fates. These results uncover a novel mechanism for temporal regulation of T cell differentiation during a dynamic immune response to acute infection. One-Sentence SummaryThe immune system generates a balanced protective response through rapidly shifting activation states and recruitment of new cells into an ongoing inflammatory landscape.
