The idea of immunological memory originally arose from the observation that survivors of
infections were subsequently resistant to disease caused by the same infection. While most …

So-called 'immunological memory'is, in my view, a typical example where a field of enquiry,
ie to understand long-term protection to survive reexposure to infection, has been overtaken …

Having considered how an appropriate primary immune response is mounted to pathogens
in both the peripheral lymphoid system and the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues, we …

This review summarizes the general parameters of cell-and antibody-mediated immune
protection and the basic mechanisms responsible for what we call immunological memory …

Resistance of vertebrate hosts against infections comprises important natural or innate
resistance combined with adaptive immune responses of T and B cells. Viruses, bacteria or …

The evolutionary benefits of immunological memory are important: whereas antibodies can
be transmitted to offspring by their mother and thereby benefit the species, T cell memory …

T he capacity of the mammalian immune system to make an accelerated and augmented
response to antigen upon second encounter is facilitated by the expansion and persistence …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on T and B cell memory, and the function, life
span, and migration of different T and B cell subsets and the relevance of these properties to …

Specificity and memory are the defining characteristics of adaptive immune responses.
Vaccines are predicated on the existence of immune memory, and the robustness of …

▪ Abstract Immunological memory is a hallmark of the immune system. Evolution can teach
us which effector arms of immunological memory are biologically relevant against which …
