Memory CD8 T cell transcriptional plasticity
Memory CD8 T cells generated after acute viral infections or live vaccines can persist for extended periods, in some instances for life, and play an important role in protective immunity. This long-lived immunity is achieved in part through cytokine-mediated homeostatic proliferation of memory T cells while maintaining the acquired capacity for rapid recall of effector cytokines and cytolytic m...
متن کاملProtective CD8+ T cell memory without help
CD8 T cells are a key component of the host adaptive immune responses that helps to eradicate invading virus and other cell-associated pathogens. The CD8 T cell responses to an acute infection consist of three well defined phases: naïve pathogen-specific T cells (CD8N) become activated and expand resulting in large numbers of effector cells (CD8E); the contraction of these CD8E into memory cell...
متن کاملCD8+ memory T-cell inflation renders compromised CD4+ T-cell-dependent CD8+ T-cell immunity via naïve T-cell anergy
Whether inflation of CD8+ memory T (mT) cells, which is often derived from repeated prime-boost vaccinations or chronic viral infections in the elderly, would affect late CD8+ T-cell immunity is a long-standing paradox. We have previously established an animal model with mT-cell inflation by transferring ConA-stimulated monoclonal CD8+ T cells derived from Ova-specific T-cell-receptor transgeni...
متن کاملTissue-dependent T Cell Apoptosis and Transcriptional Regulation of Memory CD8+T Cell Differentiation During Viral Infections: A Dissertation
Activation and proliferation of antigen-specific T cells is the hallmark of an anti-viral immune response. Effector T cells generated during an immune response are heterogeneous in regards to their ability to populate the memory pool once the immune response has resolved. Initial T cell activation takes place in the lymphoid organs, after which T cells migrate into the non-lymphoid tissues. The...
متن کاملTranscriptional repressor ZEB2 promotes terminal differentiation of CD8+ effector and memory T cell populations during infection
ZEB2 is a multi-zinc-finger transcription factor known to play a significant role in early neurogenesis and in epithelial-mesenchymal transition-dependent tumor metastasis. Although the function of ZEB2 in T lymphocytes is unknown, activity of the closely related family member ZEB1 has been implicated in lymphocyte development. Here, we find that ZEB2 expression is up-regulated by activated T c...
