Origins of CD4+ effector and central memory T cells

Open access
Pepper, Marion, Jenkins, Marc K·2011·Nature Immunology

Abstract

Lineage-committed effector CD4+ T cells are generated at the peak of the primary response and are followed by heterogeneous populations of central and effector memory cells. Here we review the evidence that T helper type 1 (TH1) effector cells survive the contraction phase of the primary response and become effector memory cells. We discuss the applicability of this idea to the TH2 cell, TH17 helper T cell, follicular helper T cell (TFH cell) and induced regulatory T cell lineages. We also discuss how central memory cells are formed, with an emphasis on the role of B cells in this process.

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.
