Memory CD8⁺ T cells play an essential role in controlling pathogenic infections. Therefore generating protective memory CD8⁺ T cells by vaccination is an attractive strategy for preventing and treating a variety of human diseases. Understanding what comprises a protective memory CD8⁺ T cell response will help optimize vaccine-induced CD8⁺ T cell immunity. Here we discuss essential antiviral effector functions and highlight how recall expansion of memory CD8⁺ T cells may affect the primary response.
记忆性 CD8⁺ T 细胞在控制病原性感染方面发挥着重要作用。因此,通过接种疫苗产生保护性的记忆性 CD8⁺ T 细胞是预防和治疗多种人类疾病的一种有吸引力的策略。了解什么是保护性记忆性 CD8⁺ T 细胞反应将有助于优化疫苗诱导的 CD8⁺ T 细胞免疫。在这里,我们讨论了抗病毒的必需效应功能,并强调了记忆性 CD8⁺ T 细胞的回忆性扩增如何影响初次应答。
