T-CELL MEMORY Central Effector
Immunological memory Inhabitants: 46 000 Area: 1400 km2 • 1781: Measles epidemic in the Faroe Islands • No measles for 65 years • 1846: Measles epidemic • Those individuals, who were older than 65 years and were infected in 1781 did not became sick, but some elderly people got the infection • Life-long protection can be induced against some viruses • Presence of the virus is not needed for the maintenance of immunological memeory

Presence of specific antibodies during primary and secondary immune responses protects against repeated infections • A successful primary immune response eliminates the pathogen and results in long-lasting immunological memory • Antibodies produced during the primary immune response protect against re-infection by neutralization and opsonization.
Both effector B and T cells and memory B and T cells are produced during a primary immune response
Both antibodies and T memory cells specific to vaccinia virus are Detectable Decades after vaccination Specific antibody titer drops to 0.1-1% of the maximunm within a year. Number of memory B-cells is 10%-of the Max. and stays constant over many years The number of memory T-cells also stays constant over decades
Comparison of the B-cell populations that participate in the primary and secondary adaptive immune responses
The amount and affinity of antibody increase after successive immunizations with the same antigen
IgG antibody suppresses the activation of naive B cells by cross-linking the B-cell receptor and FcγRIIB1 on the B-cell surface
Passive immunization with anti-Rhesus antigen IgG prevents hemolytic anemia of the newborn
Highly mutable viruses such as influenza gradually escape from immunological memory without stimulating a compensatory immune response
Memory CD4 T cells express an altered CD45 isoform that works more effectively with the T-cell receptor and co-receptors

Memory T cell frequency in the blood is a marked underestimate of the total frequency and numbers of memory T cells in the whole body. Estimates of the number of T cells in human tissues are 2 × 1010 in the skin,17, 1 × 1010 in the lungs18, 3 × 1010 in the intestines and 20 × 1010 in lymphoid tissues (that is, the spleen, the lymph nodes and the bone marrow). Therefore, peripheral blood T cells (5–10 × 109 in human blood) represent only 2–2.5% of the total T cell complement in the body, and memory T cells represent the predominant T cell subset in mucosal sites, skin, spleen and bone marrow Donna L.
