Remembrance of antigens past: new insights into memory T cells Farber DLScand J Immunol 2003[Aug]; 58 (2): 145-54Memory immune responses against foreign antigens protect the host from pathogens previously encountered via illness or vaccination, yet can also contribute to the pathology of autoimmune disease when generated against self-antigens. Memory immune responses are classically attributed to the reactivation of long-lived, antigen-specific T lymphocytes that arise directly from differentiated effector T cells and persist in a uniformly quiescent state. Recent findings in both humans and mice, using new biochemical, molecular and cellular approaches, have identified novel features of memory T cells providing new insight into models for memory cell development and differentiation. Biochemical and molecular studies on memory T cells have identified novel markers for memory T cells that may play integral roles in their generation and maintenance. Recent cellular immunological studies have uncovered remarkable heterogeneity amongst antigen-specific memory T cells. Memory cell heterogeneity in the expression of homing and chemokine receptor delineates functional subsets of memory T cells that differ in their proliferative capacity, differentiation potential, homing properties and protective abilities. These findings suggest that memory T cells with diverse properties residing in both lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues may be necessary to elicit a rapid and effective protective recall immune response involving both cellular and humoral immunity.|Animals[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunologic Memory/*immunology[MESH]|Lymphocyte Activation/immunology[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell/immunology[MESH]|T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory/*immunology[MESH] |
