Using bioinformatics tools to identify and map out specific components and regulatory interconnections, the study team found highly dynamic activities during CD8 + T cell responses: a distinct repertoire of super enhancers — groups of enhancers that interact with promoters to drive gene transcription, new groups of enhancers that jump into activity only in the memory cell stage, and extensive re-wiring of regulatory circuits from one cell stage to another.

The results show that generation of an optimal immune response to cancer requires cooperation between two types of memory T cell — one circulating in the blood and the other resident in tissues — that can be reactivated with current immunotherapy strategies.

These latter two cell types can mount effective immune responses to viruses and tumors; whereas, exhausted T cells fail and memory T cells, in particular, for long - lasting durable effects.

Student's t tests excluding the outlier indicated a p - value of < 0.04 for the remaining five pandemic H1N1 samples compared with the IgG memory and germinal center (GC) cells or the primary IgG plasmablast responses (0.2 with EM included) and a p - value of < 0.0001 against the IgM populations.

Another possibility is that the high frequency of these potent antibodies in the memory B cell compartment may have resulted in rapid resolution of infection, precluding the development of a high serological response.

Relative importance of rotavirus - specific effector and memory B cell responses in protection against challenge.

Elite controllers with low to absent effector CD8 + T cell responses maintain highly functional, broadly directed central memory responses.

These «delayed response tasks» suggest that working memory, at the level of brain cells, is the result of self - sustaining patterns of neural activity — a group of neurons starts firing when the initial information is presented and maintains that firing internally when the stimulus is no longer present until the animal acts on that information.

Whereas acute CD8 + T cell effector responses are enhanced in DGKζ - deficient mice postinfection with intracellular pathogens, persistent memory formation is impaired, most dramatically when both DGKζ and DGKα, the other isoform of DGK that metabolizes DAG downstream of the TCR in T cells, are deleted (35, 36).

Some of these T cells become «effectos» (the ones that have direct roles in the immune response, including helper functions for CD4 + T cells, and cytotoxic functions for CD8 + T cells), while other T cells differentiate into resting memory cells.
