  2. Memory T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_T_cell

    Antigen-specific memory T cells specific to viruses or other microbial molecules can be found in both central memory T cells (T CM) and effector memory T cells (T EM) subsets. . Although most information is currently based on observations in the cytotoxic T cells (CD8-positive) subset, similar populations appear to exist for both the helper T cells (CD4-positive) and the cytotoxic T ce

  3. T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell

    Unlike CD8 + killer T cells, the CD4 + helper T (T H) cells function by further activating memory B cells and cytotoxic T cells, which leads to a larger immune response. The specific adaptive immune response regulated by the T H cell depends on its subtype (such as T-helper1, T-helper2, T-helper17, regulatory T-cell), [ 4 ] which is ...

  4. Immunological memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunological_memory

    These cells were named memory effector T cells (T EM). After repeated stimulation they produce large amounts of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-5. In contrast, CCR7 + memory T cells lack proinflammatory and cytotoxic function but have receptors for lymph node migration. These cells were named central memory T cells (T CM).

  5. Tissue-resident memory T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue-resident_memory_T_cell

    T RM cells develop from circulating effector memory T cell precursors in response to antigen. The main role in formation of T RM cells has CD103 and expression of this integrin is dependent on the cytokine TGF-β. CD8 + effector T cells that lack TGF-β fail to upregulate CD103, and subsequently do not differentiate into T RM cells.

  6. T helper cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_cell

    Historically, memory T cells were thought to belong to either the effector or central memory subtypes, each with their own distinguishing set of cell surface markers. [34] Central memory T cells reside in the lymph nodes while effector memory T cells lack the C-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CCR7) and L-selectin (CD62L) receptors, which prevents ...

  7. CD28 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD28

    CD28 is also expressed on bone marrow stromal cells, plasma cells, neutrophils, and eosinophils, although its function in these cells is not fully understood. [5] Typically, CD28 is expressed on about 50% of CD8+ T cells and more than 80% of CD4+ T cells in humans. However, some T cells lose CD28 expression during activation, particularly ...

  8. Cell-mediated immunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-mediated_immunity

    T H 2 cells which produce IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. A third category called T helper 17 cells (T H 17) were also discovered which are named after their secretion of Interleukin 17. CD8 + cytotoxic T-cells may also be categorized as: [5] T c 1 cells, T c 2 cells. Similarly to CD4 + T H cells, a third category called T C 17 were discovered that also ...

  9. Virtual memory T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory_T_cell

    These are cells that have a memory phenotype but have not been exposed to a foreign antigen. They are classified as memory cells but do not have an obvious memory function. They were first observed and described in 2009. [1] The name comes from a computerized "virtual memory" that describes a working memory based on an alternative use of an ...
