A statistical analysis of memory CD8 T cell differentiation: An application of a hierarchical state space model to a short time course microarray experiment (2007)

Wu, Haiyan, Yuan, Ming, Kaech, Susan M., Halloran, M. Elizabeth

CD8 T cells are specialized immune cells that play an important role in the regulation of antiviral immune response and the generation of protective immunity. In this paper we investigate the...

Enhanced Expression of Cell Cycle Regulatory Genes in Virus-Specific (2004)

Memory Cd, T Cells, Donald R. Latner, Susan M. Kaech, Rafi Ahmed

Unlike naive CD8 � T cells, antigen-experienced memory CD8 � T cells persist over time due to their unique ability to homeostatically proliferate. It was hypothesized that memory cells might...

Heterologous immunity provides a potent barrier to transplantation tolerance

Adams, Andrew B., Williams, Matthew A., Jones, Thomas R., Shirasugi, Nozomu, Durham, Megan M., Kaech, Susan M., ...

Many strategies have been proposed to induce tolerance to transplanted tissue in rodents; however, few if any have shown equal efficacy when tested in nonhuman primate transplant models. We...

Enhanced Expression of Cell Cycle Regulatory Genes in Virus-Specific Memory CD8+ T Cells

Latner, Donald R., Kaech, Susan M., Ahmed, Rafi

Unlike naive CD8+ T cells, antigen-experienced memory CD8+ T cells persist over time due to their unique ability to homeostatically proliferate. It was hypothesized that memory cells might...

Antigen-independent memory CD8 T cells do not develop during chronic viral infection

Wherry, E. John, Barber, Daniel L., Kaech, Susan M., Blattman, Joseph N., Ahmed, Rafi

Memory T cells can persist for extended periods in the absence of antigen, and long-term T cell immunity is often seen after acute infections. Paradoxically, there have been observations suggesting...

BCL6b mediates the enhanced magnitude of the secondary response of memory CD8+ T lymphocytes

Manders, Peter M., Hunter, Patricia J., Telaranta, Aino I., Carr, James M., Marshall, Jennifer L., Carrasco, Marlene, ...

A characteristic of the secondary response of CD8+ T cells that distinguishes it from the primary response is the generation of greater numbers of effector cells. Because effector CD8+ T cells are...

Expression of IL-7 receptor α is necessary but not sufficient for the formation of memory CD8 T cells during viral infection

Hand, Timothy W., Morre, Michel, Kaech, Susan M.

During many acute viral and bacterial infections, IL-7 receptor α-chain (IL-7Rα) is expressed on a subset of effector CD8 T cells that preferentially develop into long-lived memory CD8 T cells....

Estimating the Precursor Frequency of Naive Antigen-specific CD8 T Cells

Blattman, Joseph N., Antia, Rustom, Sourdive, David J.D., Wang, Xiaochi, Kaech, Susan M., Murali-Krishna, Kaja, ...

The constraint of fitting a diverse repertoire of antigen specificities in a limited total population of lymphocytes results in the frequency of naive cells specific for any given antigen (defined as...
