Influenza- and MCMV-Induced Memory CD8 T Cells Control Respiratory Vaccinia Virus Infection Despite Residence in Distinct Anatomical Niches

Scientists used influenza virus to induce predominantly tissue resident memory T cells or cytomegalovirus to elicit a large pool of effector-like memory cells in the lungs and determined their early protective capacity and mechanism of reactivation.

Discriminating Mild From Critical COVID-19 by Innate and Adaptive Immune Single-Cell Profiling of Bronchoalveolar Lavages

In mild COVID-19, CD8+ resident-memory and CD4+ T-helper-17 cells underwent active expansion towards the end of the trajectory, and were characterized by good effector functions, while in critical COVID-19 they remain more naïve.

Spatiotemporal Single-Cell Profiling Reveals That Invasive and Tissue-Resident Memory Donor CD8+ T Cells Drive Gastrointestinal Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Scientists combined the serial intravascular staining technique with single-cell RNA sequencing to dissect the tightly connected processes by which donor T cells initially infiltrate tissues and then established a pathogenic tissue residency program in a rhesus macaque allo-HCT model that develops acute graft-versus-host disease.

Lipophagy Confers a Key Metabolic Advantage That Ensures Protective CD8A T-Cell Responses against HIV-1

Scientists showed that, after both polyclonal and HIV-1-specific activation, CD8A T-cells from ART displayed reduced autophagy-dependent degradation of lysosomal contents when compared to naturally HIV-1 protected elite controllers.

Enoxacin Upregulates microRNA Biogenesis and Downregulates Cytotoxic CD8 T Cell Function in Autoimmune Cholangitis

Scientists showed that liver‐infiltrating dnTGFβRII CD8 T cells have significantly decreased levels of the miRNA biogenesis molecules P4ha1 and Ago2 along with significantly increased levels of granzyme B and perforin.

Beyond Conventional Immune-Checkpoint Inhibition — Novel Immunotherapies for Renal Cell Carcinoma

Using the structure provided by the well-described cancer–immunity cycle, scientists outline the key steps required for a successful antitumour immune response in the context of renal cell carcinoma, and describe the development of promising new immunotherapies within the context of this framework.

Adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19

More studies reveal that CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and neutralizing antibodies all contribute to control of SARS-CoV-2, in both non-hospitalized and hospitalized cases of COVID-19. The specific functions and kinetics of these adaptive immune responses are discussed.
