Th17 responses are not altered by natural exposure to seasonal allergens in pollen-sensitive patients [PDF]
Background: Allergic rhinitis affects 10–30 % of the global population and this number is likely to increase in the forthcoming years. Moreover, it commonly co-exists with allergic asthma as a chronic allergic respiratory syndrome. While the involvement

Antigen-specific memory and naïve CD4+ T cells following secondary Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
Memory antigen-specific CD4+ T cells against Chlamydia trachomatis are necessary for protection against secondary genital tract infection. While it is known that naïve antigen-specific CD4+ T cells can traffic to the genital tract in an antigen-specific ...

Skin-resident CD4+ T cells protect against Leishmania major by recruiting and activating inflammatory monocytes. [PDF]
Tissue-resident memory T cells are required for establishing protective immunity against a variety of different pathogens, although the mechanisms mediating protection by CD4+ resident memory T cells are still being defined.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling reveals enriched memory T-cell subpopulations in hypertension
Introduction: The adaptive immune response mediated by T cells plays a vital role in the initiation and maintenance of blood pressure (BP) elevation. Memory T cells, which are antigen-specific T cells, can respond specifically to repeated hypertensive ...

Accelerated in vivo proliferation of memory phenotype CD4+ T-cells in human HIV-1 infection irrespective of viral chemokine co-receptor tropism. [PDF]
CD4(+) T-cell loss is the hallmark of HIV-1 infection. CD4 counts fall more rapidly in advanced disease when CCR5-tropic viral strains tend to be replaced by X4-tropic viruses.

Futility Sustains Memory T Cells [PDF]
Memory T cells display a distinct metabolic profile compared to effector T cells. In this issue of Immunity, O'Sullivan et al. (2014) report that memory T cells activate a "futile cycle" of de novo fatty-acid synthesis and concurrent fatty-acid oxidation to generate ATP for cell survival.

Predominance of weakly cytotoxic, T-betLowEomesNeg CD8+ T-cells in human gastrointestinal mucosa: implications for HIV infection. [PDF]
The gastrointestinal mucosa is an important site of HIV acquisition, viral replication, and pathogenesis. Immune cells in mucosal tissues frequently differ in phenotype and function from their non-mucosal counterparts.
