## Abstract The concept of heterologous Tβcell immunity postulates that nonspecific memory Tβcells recruited and reactivated in the context of an unrelated virus infection may contribute to protective antiviral immunity. Pulmonary infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) of mice immune to l

β¦ Synopsis
Memory T cells play an important role in the resolution of secondary respiratory virus infections through the production of anti-viral cytokines and the lysis of infected cells. Within the lung airways, memory T cells form an initial line of defense against secondary virus challenge by limiting early viral replication at the site of infection. Recent studies have addressed the generation and maintenance of airway memory T cells and their relationship with memory T cells in the secondary lymphoid organs. These advances have demonstrated that different memory subsets contribute to the maintenance of the airway memory T cell population and have identified molecules that influence trafficking to the lung tissue and the lung airways.
