However, it is this small proportion of virus that hides
in the effector memory T - cells and stops the immune system from fully destroying the virus and eliminating it from the body.
«Previously it was thought that HIV was hiding primarily in central memory T - cells, but our new HIV genetic sequencing test has revealed that the majority of replication - competent virus is actually hiding
in effector memory T - cells.
We suspect that this «junk» HIV can act as a decoy and draw attention away from the «real» virus hiding
in the effector memory T - cells,» she said.

Different clonal
memory cell populations had different B cell or macrophage helper compositions that matched
effector cell populations generated much earlier
in the response.
Effector memory T - cells are the cells
in the body that «remember» previous infections and how to defeat them.
Single - cell differential gene expression analysis revealed a spectrum of known transcripts, including several linked to cytotoxic and costimulatory function that are expressed at higher levels
in the TEMRA (
effector memory T cells expressing CD45RA) subset, which is highly enriched for CD4 - CTLs, compared with CD4 + T cells
in the central
memory (TCM) and
effector memory (TEM) subsets.
In many cases the damage is caused by a particular group of immune cells called
effector memory T - cells.
A recent paper
in the experimental biology publication The FASEB Journal describes how peptides found
in hookworms inhibit the proliferation of
effector memory T cells, which, unlike regulatory T cells, can actually trigger inflammation.
These findings suggested that exhausted T cells are a distinct lineage of T cells
in and of themselves instead of just being
effector or
memory T cells restrained by checkpoint pathways.
The phenotype of NP cells generated ex vivo (Figure S8) closely resembles that of central
memory CD4 + T cells found
in vivo, which persist for years
in secondary lymphoid organs and can differentiate into
effector memory CD4 + T cells [45].
Relative importance of rotavirus - specific

Effector memory T cells, early metastasis, and survival
in colorectal cancer.
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).
DKO mice, however, have a decreased percentage of
memory precursor cells and an increase
in short - lived
effector cells compared with WT mice.
Although similar numbers of total splenic gp33 - LCMV — specific T cells were observed between genotypes (Fig. 5B), the distribution of gp33 - LCMV — specific CD8 + T cell
effector and
memory subsets were altered, such that there was a significantly lower percentage of short - term
effector T cells and reciprocal changes
in memory precursor cells among gp33 - specifc CD8 + T cells
in WT relative to DKO mice (Fig. 5C), with a trend
in changes
in absolute cell numbers, consistent with temporal data from peripheral blood (Fig. 5A).
Consistent with prior reports on
effector cells (35), we observed that, among CD8 + T cells specific for the dominant epitope of LCMV (GP33), the percentages of short - lived
effector cells (KLRG1 + CD127 −) were increased, and the percentages of
memory precursor cells (KLRG1 + CD127 +) were decreased
in the peripheral blood of DGKζ − / −, Cbl - b − / −, and DKO mice relative to WT mice after acute infection (Fig. 5A).
These data indicate that enhanced TCR signaling resulting either from deletion of DGKζ or Cbl - b results
in skewed
effector versus
memory development postinfection with LCMV.
Initial studies demonstrated that ligation of 4 - 1BB on T cells could deliver costimulatory signals resulting
in either increased proliferation or enhanced cytokine secretion and also control clonal expansion and differentiation of
effector and
memory T cells.
