Tissue-resident memory T cells found in lungs of people who had COVID-19 10 months ago – News-Medical.Net
In recent research by Judith Grau-Expósito et al., scientists identify circulating virus-specific T cell responses during acute SARS-CoV-2 infection with functional,…
Resident memory T (TRM) cells are T cells (both CD4+ and CD8+) strategically residing in peripheral tissues to control mucosal infections and provide rapid and durable immunity locally against re-infection. The role of TRM cells is to protect against pathogen challenge for many tissues, including the lung and to limit re-infections locally.
Scientists hypothesize that these cells are probably required to limit SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) spread and COVID-19 (coronavirus…
