Memory T cells in nonlymphoid tissue that provide enhanced local immunity during infection with herpes simplex virus

TLDR
A unique memory T cell subset present after acute infection with herpes simplex virus that remained resident in the skin and in latently infected sensory ganglia is described, representing an example of tissue-resident memory T cells that can provide protective immunity at points of pathogen entry.
Abstract
Effective immunity is dependent on long-surviving memory T cells. Various memory subsets make distinct contributions to immune protection, especially in peripheral infection. It has been suggested that T cells in nonlymphoid tissues are important during local infection, although their relationship with populations in the circulation remains poorly defined. Here we describe a unique memory T cell subset present after acute infection with herpes simplex virus that remained resident in the skin and in latently infected sensory ganglia. These T cells were in disequilibrium with the circulating lymphocyte pool and controlled new infection with this virus. Thus, these cells represent an example of tissue-resident memory T cells that can provide protective immunity at points of pathogen entry.

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors: Positioning Cells for Host Defense and Immunity

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent advances in understanding how the chemokine system orchestrates immune cell migration and positioning at the organismic level in homeostasis, in acute inflammation, and during the generation and regulation of adoptive primary and secondary immune responses in the lymphoid system and peripheral nonlymphoid tissue.

TL;DR: This Review focuses on recent progress in dissecting the functional role of skin immune cells in skin disease and newly identified CD103+ dendritic cells are strategically positioned for cross-presentation of skin-tropic pathogens.

Intraepithelial Type 1 Innate Lymphoid Cells Are a Unique Subset of IL-12- and IL-15-Responsive IFN-γ-Producing Cells

TL;DR: A human ILC1 subset that produced interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in response to IL-12 and IL-15 and had a unique integrin profile, intraepithelial location, hallmarks of TGF-β imprinting, and a memory-activated phenotype is characterized.

Skin infection generates non-migratory memory CD8+ T(RM) cells providing global skin immunity.

TL;DR: It is shown in mice that localized vaccinia virus (VACV) skin infection generates long-lived non-recirculating CD8+ skin TRM cells that reside within the entire skin that are superior to circulating central memory T (TCM) cells at providing rapid long-term protection against cutaneous re-infection.

Two subsets of memory T lymphocytes with distinct homing potentials and effector functions

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CCR7, a chemokine receptor that controls homing to secondary lymphoid organs, divides human memory T cells into two functionally distinct subsets, which are named central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM).

Preferential Localization of Effector Memory Cells in Nonlymphoid Tissue

TL;DR: In response to viral or bacterial infection, antigen-specific CD8 T cells migrated to nonlymphoid tissues and were present as long-lived memory cells, pointing to the existence of a population of extralymphoid effector memory T cells poised for immediate response to infection.

Lineage relationship and protective immunity of memory CD8 T cell subsets.

TL;DR: It is proposed that TCM and TEM do not necessarily represent distinct subsets, but are part of a continuum in a linear naive → effector → TEM → TCM differentiation pathway.
