On the cellular basis of immunological T cell memory. of outstanding interest Immunity. 2:1995;37-43 This is an elegant use of TCR transgenic cells to examine the fate and properties of adoptively transferred naive and memory cells. The data establish clearly that the behaviour of the subsets differs in the absence of antigen and following antigenic stimulation.

The cytokines IL-4 IFN-γ, and IL-12 regulate the development of subsets of memory effector helper T cells in vitro. of special interest J Immunol. 155:1995;1713-1724 The extent of polarization among memory cells is not known. It is shown here that a polyclonal memory population may still respond in a Th1 or Th2 mode when exposed to appropriate cytokines.

The long term maintenance of cytotoxic T cell memory does not require persistence of antigen. of outstanding interest J Exp Med. 179:1994;317-321 This paper uses adoptive transfer to show that memory persists in the absence of antigen. Cells transferred long after priming to adoptive hosts and restimulated gave secondary kinetics of response only if the priming and boosting virus were cross-reactive.
