Memory T cells persisting within the brain after local infection show functional adaptations to their tissue of residence
Open accessAbstract
The brain is not routinely surveyed by lymphocytes and is defined as an immuno-privileged site. However, viral infection of the brain results in the infiltration and long-term persistence of pathogen-specific CD8 + T cells. These cells survive without replenishment from the circulation and are referred to as resident memory T cells (Trm). Brain Trm selectively express the integrin CD103, the expression of which is dependent on antigen recognition within the tissue. After clearance of virus, CD8 + T cells persist in tight clusters, presumably at prior infection hot spots. Antigen persistence is not a prerequisite for T-cell retention, as suggested by the failure to detect viral genomes in the T-cell clusters. Furthermore, we show that an intracranial dendritic cell immunization regimen, which allows the transient introduction of antigen, also results in the generation of memory T cells that persist long term in the brain. Brain Trm die rapidly on isolation from the tissue and fail to undergo recall expansion after adoptive transfer into the bloodstream of antigen-challenged recipients. These ex vivo defects imply a dependency on the local milieu for function and survival. Cumulatively, this work shows that Trm are a specialized population of memory T cells that can be deposited in tissues previously thought to be beyond routine immune surveillance.

“A non-mutually exclusive alternative hypothesis is that aeb7 expression promotes survival of CD8+ T cells, as aeb7+ CD8+ T cells express more of the prosurvival protein Bcl-2 early after infection in the brain and skin epidermis (Mackay et al., 2013; Wakim et al., 2010).”

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.
