T-cell quality in memory and protection: implications for vaccine design
TLDR
The importance of using multiparameter flow cytometry to better understand the functional capacity of effector and memory T-cell responses, thereby enabling the development of preventative and therapeutic vaccine strategies for infections is highlighted.Abstract:
T cells mediate effector functions through a variety of mechanisms. Recently, multiparameter flow cytometry has allowed a simultaneous assessment of the phenotype and multiple effector functions of single T cells; the delineation of T cells into distinct functional populations defines the quality of the response. New evidence suggests that the quality of T-cell responses is crucial for determining the disease outcome to various infections. This Review highlights the importance of using multiparameter flow cytometry to better understand the functional capacity of effector and memory T-cell responses, thereby enabling the development of preventative and therapeutic vaccine strategies for infections.read more

TL;DR: This ALVAC-HIV and AIDSVAX B/E vaccine regimen may reduce the risk of HIV infection in a community-based population with largely heterosexual risk and offer insight for future research.

mTOR regulates memory CD8 T-cell differentiation
Koichi Araki,Alexandra P. Turner,Virginia O. Shaffer,Shivaprakash Gangappa,Susanne A. Keller,Martin F. Bachmann,Christian P. Larsen,Rafi Ahmed +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin, also known as FRAP1) is a major regulator of memory CD8 T-cell differentiation, and in contrast to what was expected, the immunosuppressive drug Rapamycin has immunostimulatory effects on the generation of memoryCD8 T cells.

Production of interleukin 22 but not interleukin 17 by a subset of human skin-homing memory T cells
TL;DR: The differentiation of T cells producing only IL-22 was efficiently induced in naive T cells by plasmacytoid dendritic cells in an IL-6- and tumor necrosis factor–dependent way and delineate a previously unknown subset of human CD4+ effector T cells dedicated to skin pathophysiology.

SPICE: exploration and analysis of post-cytometric complex multivariate datasets.
TL;DR: Algorithms and a graphical interface originally developed to support the analysis of T cell functional profiles are reported on and a statistic for the nonparametric comparison of complex distributions to test for difference between groups of samples based on multi‐component measurements is defined.

TL;DR: Consistent with previous trials, the MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef vaccine was highly immunogenic for inducing HIV-specific CD8+ T cells and suggest that future candidate vaccines have to elicit responses that either exceed in magnitude or differ in breadth or function from those recorded in this trial.

Disseminated tuberculosis in interferon gamma gene-disrupted mice.

TL;DR: It is shown that mice in which the IFN-gamma gene has been disrupted were unable to contain or control a normally sublethal dose of M. tuberculosis, delivered either intravenously or aerogenically, and that despite the lack of protective immunity, some DTH-like reactivity could still be elicited.

Vigorous HIV-1-specific CD4+ T cell responses associated with control of viremia

TL;DR: In individuals who control viremia in the absence of antiviral therapy, polyclonal, persistent, and vigorous HIV-1-specific CD4+ T cell proliferative responses were present, resulting in the elaboration of interferon-gamma and antiviral beta chemokines.

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 quality of the HIV-specific CD8(+) T-cell functional response serves as an immune correlate of HIV disease progression and a potential qualifying factor for evaluation of HIV vaccine efficacy.

CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells control Leishmania major persistence and immunity

TL;DR: It is shown that the persistence of Leishmania major in the skin after healing in resistant C57BL/6 mice is controlled by an endogenous population of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells, indicating that the equilibrium established between effector and regulatory T Cells in sites of chronic infection might reflect both parasite and host survival strategies.
