T-cell exhaustion in HIV infection
Generation of memory T cells, which mediate immunity against microbes and cancers,
relies, for optimal activity, on the interactions of multiple cell types that are highly regulated …

Secondary Replicative Function of CD8+ T Cells That Had Developed an Effector Phenotype
O Bannard, M Kraman, DT Fearon - Science, 2009 - science.org
Models of the differentiation of memory CD8+ T cells that replicate during secondary
infections differ over whether such cells had acquired effector function during primary …

Protective heterologous antiviral immunity and enhanced immunopathogenesis mediated by memory T cell populations
A basic principle of immunology is that prior immunity results in complete protection against
a homologous agent. In this study, we show that memory T cells specific to unrelated viruses …

The role of antigen-independent persistence of memory cytotoxic T lymphocytes
We use mathematical models to analyze the role of a memory cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)
response in viral infections. The model predicts that antigen-independent persistence of an …

Viral persistence alters CD8 T-cell immunodominance and tissue distribution and results in distinct stages of functional impairment
EJ Wherry, JN Blattman, K Murali-Krishna… - Journal of …, 2003 - Am Soc Microbiol
Chronic viral infections often result in ineffective CD8 T-cell responses due to functional
exhaustion or physical deletion of virus-specific T cells. However, how persisting virus …

Cutting edge: gut microenvironment promotes differentiation of a unique memory CD8 T cell population
D Masopust, V Vezys, EJ Wherry… - The Journal of …, 2006 - journals.aai.org
Whether tissue microenvironment influences memory CD8 T cell differentiation is unclear.
We demonstrate that virus-specific intraepithelial lymphocytes in gut resemble neither …

αβ and γδ T‐cell networks and their roles in natural resistance to viral infections
Both αβ and γδ T‐cell populations and natural killer (NK) cells include cytotoxic, interferon
(IFN)‐γ‐producing lymphocytes that actively respond to viral infections. We show here that …

Production of IL-10 by CD4+ regulatory T cells during the resolution of infection promotes the maturation of memory CD8+ T cells
Memory CD8+ T cells are critical for host defense upon reexposure to intracellular
pathogens. We found that interleukin 10 (IL-10) derived from CD4+ regulatory T cells (Treg …

Memories that last forever: strategies for optimizing vaccine T-cell memory
JD Ahlers, IM Belyakov - Blood, The Journal of the American …, 2010 - ashpublications.org
For acute self-limiting infections a vaccine is successful if it elicits memory at least as good
as the natural experience; however, for persistent and chronic infections such as HIV …
