Abstract

Summary The mechanisms that maintain human T cell memory during normal and perturbed homeostasis are not fully understood. The repeated induction of profound lymphocytopenia in patients undergoing multiple cycles of cytotoxic chemotherapy infrequently results in severe infections with viruses controlled by memory T cells, suggesting that some memory T cells survive chemotherapy and restore immunity. Here we identify a distinct subpopulation of memory CD8+ T cells with the ability to rapidly efflux and survive exposure to chemotherapy drugs in vitro and in vivo. T cells with high efflux capacity share expression of molecules with hematopoietic stem cells, are quiescent in non-lymphocytopenic individuals, and are induced to proliferate in patients rendered lymphocytopenic after chemotherapy. Effluxing T cells differentiate into non-effluxing subsets in response to antigen stimulation and inflammatory signals, thereby contributing to repopulation of memory cells after chemotherapy.

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.
