TLDR
In this article, two discrete primed subpopulations are found within the circulating human CD8+ T cell subset, i.e., CD45RA−CD45R0+ cells and CD27−CD27− cells.Abstract:
Human CD8+ memory- and effector-type T cells are poorly defined. We show here that, next to a naive compartment, two discrete primed subpopulations can be found within the circulating human CD8+ T cell subset. First, CD45RA−CD45R0+ cells are reminiscent of memory-type T cells in that they express elevated levels of CD95 (Fas) and the integrin family members CD11a, CD18, CD29, CD49d, and CD49e, compared to naive CD8+ T cells, and are able to secrete not only interleukin (IL) 2 but also interferon γ, tumor necrosis factor α, and IL-4. This subset does not exert cytolytic activity without prior in vitro stimulation but does contain virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) precursors. A second primed population is characterized by CD45RA expression with concomitant absence of expression of the costimulatory molecules CD27 and CD28. The CD8+CD45RA+CD27− population contains T cells expressing high levels of CD11a, CD11b, CD18, and CD49d, whereas CD62L (L-selectin) is not expressed. These T cells do not secrete IL-2 or -4 but can produce IFN-γ and TNF-α. In accordance with this finding, cells contained within this subpopulation depend for proliferation on exogenous growth factors such as IL-2 and -15. Interestingly, CD8+CD45RA+CD27− cells parallel effector CTLs, as they abundantly express Fas-ligand mRNA, contain perforin and granzyme B, and have high cytolytic activity without in vitro prestimulation. Based on both phenotypic and functional properties, we conclude that memory- and effector-type T cells can be separated as distinct entities within the human CD8+ T cell subset.read more

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).

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.

TL;DR: The nature and extent of CD4+ T cell depletion in lymphoid tissue is defined and mechanisms of profound depletion of specific T cell subsets related to elimination of CCR5+ CD4- T cell targets and disruption of T cell homeostasis that accompanies chronic immune activation are pointed to.

Selective expression of the interleukin 7 receptor identifies effector CD8 T cells that give rise to long-lived memory cells
TL;DR: Increased expression of the interleukin 7 receptor α-chain (IL-7Rα) identifies the effector CD8 T cells that will differentiate into memory cells, and this marker may be useful in predicting the number of memory T cells generated after infection or immunization.

TL;DR: The perforin- and Fas-based mechanisms may account for all T cell-mediated cytotoxicity in short-term in vitro assays, and no third mechanism was detected.

TL;DR: The early decision towards Thl and Th2 cells in the immune response is dependent on the balance between IL-12, which favored Thl responses, and IL-4, which favors Th2 responses.

TL;DR: In mice, IFN I [poly(I:C)]-stimulated CD8+ cells survived for prolonged periods in vivo and displayed the same phenotype as did long-lived antigen-specific CD8-specific cells, and production ofIFN I may play an important role in the generation and maintenance of specific memory.
