Antigen-specific memory T cells specific to viruses or other microbial molecules can be found in both central memory T cells (T CM) and effector memory T cells (T EM) subsets. . Although most information is currently based on observations in the cytotoxic T cells (CD8-positive) subset, similar populations appear to exist for both the helper T cells (CD4-positive) and the cytotoxic T ce
T RM cells develop from circulating effector memory T cell precursors in response to antigen. The main role in formation of T RM cells has CD103 and expression of this integrin is dependent on the cytokine TGF-β. CD8 + effector T cells that lack TGF-β fail to upregulate CD103, and subsequently do not differentiate into T RM cells.
Longitudinal studies on T SCM dynamics in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have shown that donor-derived T SCM cells were highly enriched early after HSCT, differentiated directly from Tn, and that Tn and T SCM cells (but not central memory or effector T cells) were able to reconstitute the entire heterogeneity of memory T cell subsets including T SCM cells. [6]
Central memory T cells also have intermediate to high expression of CD44. This memory subpopulation is commonly found in the lymph nodes and in the peripheral circulation. (Note- CD44 expression is usually used to distinguish murine naive from memory T cells). Effector memory T cells (T EM cells and T EMRA cells) express CD45RO but lack ...
In turn, this results in the T cell acquiring an activated phenotype seen by the up-regulation of surface markers CD25 +, CD44 +, CD62L low, CD69 + and may further differentiate into a memory T cell. Having adequate numbers of naive T cells is essential for the immune system to continuously respond to unfamiliar pathogens.
Historically, memory T cells were thought to belong to either the effector or central memory subtypes, each with their own distinguishing set of cell surface markers. [34] Central memory T cells reside in the lymph nodes while effector memory T cells lack the C-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CCR7) and L-selectin (CD62L) receptors, which prevents ...
Both populations of these memory cells originate from naive T cells and remain in the body for several years after initial immunization. [ 14 ] Experimental techniques used to study these cells include measuring antigen-stimulated cell proliferation and cytokine release, staining with peptide-MHC multimers or using an activation-induced marker ...
It is easy to distinguish naive cells from memory, but true memory from T VM can only be distinguished by CD49d and CD122 markers. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] T VM produce a stronger inflammatory response using IL-12 and IL-18 cytokines than naive T cells.
