Human memory T cells: generation, compartmentalization and homeostasis

Abstract: Memory T cells comprise the most abundant lymphocyte population in the body for the majority of one’s lifetime; however, our understanding of memory T cell generation, function and maintenance mainly derives from mouse studies, which cannot recapitulate the decades-long exposure to multiple pathogens that occurs in humans. Here, we review studies focused on human memory T cells that reveal key properties including subset heterogeneity and diverse tissue residence in multiple mucosal and lymphoid tissue sites. … Show more

“…These events are also mediated by TCR engagement and high ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase expression levels. There are encouraging results on the role of IFN-γ in Ci8-mediated mechanisms especially by CD4 + memory T lymphocytes and this in agreement with Farber et al (Farber, 2014) who demonstrated that the T EM subset has the highest proportion IFN-γ producing cells. Effector T cell stimulation by specific antigens leads to an array of functional events optimally tailored to provide an appropriate immune response that includes T cell selection, proliferation and cytokine production by antigen specific T cells.…”

“…The TCR-driven pathways that lead to proliferation appear separable to the secretion of cytokines, another event that by immune cells defines a significant part of their functional activity (Guy et al, 2013). Our hypothesis is that Ci8 short cytokines production is mediated by Effector Memory T cells (T EM ) (Farber, 2014) that can produce these immediately after antigen challenge with a rapid recall mechanism (Scheffold et al, 2000;Han et al, 2012;Campbell et al, 2010). These events are also mediated by TCR engagement and high ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase expression levels.…”

“…Based on differential expression of surface markers the following B-cell subsets were identified: immature/ /early-transitional (I/T, CD27-IgD+CD21 low ), late-transitional/naïve (CD27-IgD+CD21+), non-switched memory (NSM, CD27+IgD+), resting class-switched memory (SM, CD27+IgD-CD21+), activated SM (CD27+IgD-CD21 low ), and double-negative (CD27-IgD-) exhausted memory (ExM) as summarized in Figure 1C [8,16,23,25]. Using T-cell panel we identified four subsets within CD4+ or CD8+ gate: naïve (CD45RA+CD45RO-CCR7+), central memory (T CM , CD45RA-CD45RO+CCR7+), effector memory (T EM , CD45RA-CD45RO+CCR7-), and effector memory CD45RA+ (T EMRA , CD45RA+CD45RO-CCR7-) [26,27].…”

“…Memory T cells display the exquisite Correspondence: Dr. Paul Zajac e-mail: paul.zajac@usb.ch ability to respond to previously experienced antigens with clonal expansion and with the rapid elicitation of multiple effector function [1]. However, the origin of memory CD8 + T cells is still debated, particularly concerning the relationship between effector and memory cells [2].…”
