Adoptive transfer of effector CD8+ T cells derived from central memory cells establishes persistent T cell memory in primates [PDF]
The adoptive transfer of antigen-specific T cells that have been expanded ex vivo is being actively pursued to treat infections and malignancy in humans. The T cell populations that are available for adoptive immunotherapy include both effector memory and central memory cells, and these differ in phenotype, function, and homing.

High CCR5 density on central memory CD4+ T cells in acute HIV-1 infection is mostly associated with rapid disease progression. [PDF]
CD4+ central memory T cells play a critical role in the pathogenesis of simian immunodeficiency virus disease, and the CCR5 density on the surface of CD4 T cells is an important factor in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 disease progression.

Hoxb4 overexpression in CD4 memory phenotype T cells increases the central memory population upon homeostatic proliferation. [PDF]
Memory T cell populations allow a rapid immune response to pathogens that have been previously encountered and thus form the basis of success in vaccinations.

Sarcoidosis (SA) is a systemic granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology with lung and mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs) as the main location. T lymphocytes play important role in the formation of granulomas in SA, but still little is known about the role ...

Bystander Central Memory but Not Effector Memory CD8+ T Cells Suppress Allograft Rejection [PDF]
Abstract Memory T cells respond faster and more vigorously than their naive counterparts and are critical for adaptive immunity. However, it is unknown whether and how memory T cells react in the face of irrelevant Ags. It is generally accepted that bystander memory T cells are neutral in immune responsiveness.

Memory T-cell responses following infection with coronaviruses are reportedly long-lived and provide long-term protection against severe disease. Whether vaccination induces similar long-lived responses is not yet clear since, to date, there are limited ...

A Pool of Central Memory-Like CD4 T Cells Contains Effector Memory Precursors [PDF]
Abstract The L51S mutation in the D10.G4.1 TCR α-chain reduces the affinity of the TCR to its ligand by affecting the interactions among the TCR, the β-chain of I-Ak, and the bound peptide. We show that this mutation drives the generation of a pool of memory CD44highCD62LnegCD45RBneg CD4 TCR transgenic T cells.

Vaccine-induced protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is usually ascribed to the induction of Th1, Th17, and CD8+ T cells. However, protective immune responses should also involve other immune cell subsets, such as memory T cells.

Unidirectional development of CD8+ central memory T cells into protective Listeria‐specific effector memory T cells [PDF]
AbstractThree distinct subsets of antigen‐experienced CD8+ T cells have been identified so far: short‐living effector T cells (TEC) and two long‐living subsets, described as central (TCM) and effector memory (TEM) T cells. The lineage relationships of these subpopulations as well as their involvement in protection have not yet been conclusively ...
