There is perhaps no more important function of the adaptive immune system than to confer protection from reinfection by pathogens previously encountered and defeated. Within the T cell lineage, this property of remembering past antigenic threats resides in the small subset of memory cells which persist long after the disappearance of the short-lived ...

CD4+ T helper memory (Thmem) cells influence both natural and vaccine-boosted immunity, but mechanisms for their maintenance remain unclear. Pro-survival signals from the common gamma-chain cytokines, in particular IL-7, appear important.

Memory T Cells in Flavivirus Vaccination
Flaviviruses include many medically important viruses, such as Dengue virus (DENV), Japanese encephalitis (JEV), tick-borne encephalitis (TBEV), West Nile (WNV), yellow fever (YFV), and Zika viruses (ZIKV).

Memory CD4 T cell subsets are kinetically heterogeneous and replenished from naive T cells at high levels [PDF]
Characterising the longevity of immunological memory requires establishing the rules underlying the renewal and death of peripheral T cells. However, we lack knowledge of the population structure and how self-renewal and de novo influx contribute to ...

Metabolic features of naïve and memory CD4+T cells in quiescence and during proliferation
Background. Memory CD4+ T cells proliferation is the basis for accelerated secondary immune response. The characteristics of memory CD4+ T cells providing their faster division compared to naive CD4+ T lymphocytes are poorly understood.

Adenovirus vector-specific T cells demonstrate a unique memory phenotype with high proliferative potential and coexpression of CCR5 and integrin α\(_4\)β\(_7\) [PDF]
Background: The Step Study was a randomized trial to reduce HIV infection through vaccination with an adenovirus type 5-based gag/pol/nef construct; analysis following early cessation of the trial revealed an excess of HIV seroconversion in Ad5 ...

Transcriptional repressor ZEB2 promotes terminal differentiation of CD8⁺ effector and memory T cell populations during infection [PDF]
ZEB2 is a multi-zinc-finger transcription factor known to play a significant role in early neurogenesis and in epithelial-mesenchymal transition-dependent tumor metastasis.

Apoptotic epitope-specific CD8+ T cells and interferon signaling intersect in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
CD8(+) T cells specific to caspase-cleaved antigens derived from apoptotic T cells represent a principal player in chronic immune activation (CIA). Here, we found that both apoptotic epitope (AE)-specific and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8(+) T ...

T cell aging: A review of the transcriptional changes determined from genome-wide analysis
Age carries a detrimental impact on T cell function. In the past decade, analyses of the genome-scale transcriptional changes of T cells during aging have yielded a large amount of data and provided a global view of gene expression changes in T cells ...
