Abstract

Tissue‐resident memory CD8 + T cells (T RM ) localize to barrier tissues and mediate local protection against reinvading pathogens. Circulating central memory (T CM ) and effector memory CD8 + T cells (T EM ) also contribute to tissue recall responses, but their potential to form mucosal T RM remains unclear. Here, we employed adoptive transfer and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus reinfection models to specifically assess secondary responses of T CM and T EM at mucosal sites. Donor T CM and T EM exhibited robust systemic recall responses, but only limited accumulation in the small intestine, consistent with reduced expression of tissue‐homing and ‐retention molecules. Murine and human circulating memory T cells also exhibited limited CD103 upregulation following TGF‐β stimulation. Upon pathogen clearance, T CM and T EM readily gave rise to secondary T EM . T CM also formed secondary central memory in lymphoid tissues and T RM in internal tissues, for example, the liver. Both T CM and T EM failed to substantially contribute to resident mucosal memory in the small intestine, while activated intestinal T RM , but not liver T RM , efficiently reformed CD103 + T RM . Our findings demonstrate that circulating T CM and T EM are limited in generating mucosal T RM upon reinfection. This may pose important implications on cell therapy and vaccination strategies employing memory CD8 + T cells for protection at mucosal sites.

  • As currently no Abs are available to detect murine Hobit accurately by flow cytometry, Hobit reporter mice are the tool of choice to identify and manipulate Trm.

    “As currently no Abs are available to detect murine Hobit accurately by flow cytometry, Hobit reporter mice are the tool of choice to identify and manipulate Trm [251, 289] (Figure 21).”

    From Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry and cell sorting in immunological studies (third edition) (2021) · cites this paper as [289]

    The Flow cytometry section describes antibody staining, and Table 1 lists antibodies used, but neither addresses whether antibodies can accurately detect murine Hobit. Searches for Hobit and reporter mice found no passage in our copy supporting their use to identify or manipulate tissue-resident memory T cells. (LLM, conf=0.74)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
