When the going gets tough, memory T cells check out
Abstract
Memory CD8(+) T cells proliferate faster than naive cells to rapidly control an infectious challenge, but West et al. (2011) in this issue of Immunity report that this superiority is lost in the face of a high dose or chronic viral challenge.
