Abstract

Immunological memory is still one of the enigmas of modern immunology. We poorly understand the generation of memory cells from their precursors, the lifestyle of memory cells or their maintenance, reactivation and termination. Here, we discuss the recent evidence suggesting that memory plasma cells, as defined in this review, and memory Th cells are maintained in the bone marrow, resting (in terms of proliferation) in survival niches organized by dedicated stroma cells, which control the homeostasis of immunological memory.

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are essential for control of primary infections by many pathogens and in particular by non-cytopathic viruses. It has been proposed that long-term maintenance of CTL memory and control of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is dependent upon the presence of T help

Treatment of murine skin grafts in vitro with 8-methoxypsoralen and longwave ultraviolet radiation prolonged their subsequent survival on allogeneic recipients, but not in cases where the recipients had been presensitized by a former skin graft of the same donor strain. In contrast to normal skin, g
