T-cell exhaustion in HIV infection

M El-Far, R Halwani, E Said, L Trautmann… - Current HIV/AIDS …, 2008 - Springer
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

LK Selin, SM Varga, IC Wong, RM Welsh - The Journal of experimental …, 1998 - rupress.org
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

D Wodarz, RM May, MA Nowak - International immunology, 2000 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Cytomegalovirus-specific CD4+ T cells in healthy carriers are continuously driven to replicative exhaustion

JM Fletcher, M Vukmanovic-Stejic… - The Journal of …, 2005 - journals.aai.org
Repeated antigenic encounter drives proliferation and differentiation of memory T cell pools.
An important question is whether certain specific T cells may be driven eventually to …

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

RM Welsh, MY Lin, BL Lohman, SM Varga… - Immunological …, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
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

BJ Laidlaw, W Cui, RA Amezquita, SM Gray… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
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 …
