An international group of researchers led by Professor Christoph Hess from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel have now found a structure that accounts for the rapid immunologic memory of particular immune cells (CD8 + memory T cells): these important memory cells form multiple connections between mitochondria — the powerhouses of cells — and the endoplasmic reticulum, the site of protein production.

Vaccines produce immunologic memory; however, circulating vaccine - specific antibodies and immune cells in horses can drop in concentration after a few months. (zoetisus.com)
«Since immunologic memory is for life,» says Richman, «then so is maintenance for latent HIV.» (scientificamerican.com)
