Repetitive antigen stimulation in the periphery dictates the composition and recall responses of brain-resident memory CD8+ T cells by Madison R. Mix, Stephanie van de Wall, Mohammad Heidarian, Elizabeth A. Escue, Cori E. Fain, Lecia L. Pewe, Lisa S. Hancox, Sahaana A. Arumugam, Cassie M. Sievers, Vladimir P. Badovinac, John T. Harty

“…Despite these differences, repetitively stimulated brain TRM provide similar protection against intracranial infection as primary populations with superior recall-based recruitment of peripheral lymphocytes. As CD8+ T cells may distinctly seed the brain with each repeated infection of the same host, these findings point to heterogeneity in the brain TRM pool that is dictated by prior peripheral antigen stimulation history.…”

“…In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a multi-antigenic recombinant Ad5 vectored vaccine and determine the optimal immunization route for enhanced immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.MethodsWe constructed a multi-antigenic recombinant Ad5 vectored vaccine expressing four antigens (Ag85B-ESAT6-MPT64-Rv2660c) of M. tuberculosis (rAd-TB4), immunized with rAd-TB4 (5 × 107 infectious virus units/mouse) twice at an interval of 4 weeks starting at 10 weeks after BCG priming, and evaluated its boosting efficacy in a BCG-primed mouse model, and determined the optimal immunization route.ResultsCompared with the BCG-only (2 × 105 colony forming units/mouse), subcutaneous injection of rAd-TB4 (1 × 107 infectious virus units/mL; two doses) elicited a T-cell response and cytokine production in lung lymphocytes and splenocytes. rAd-TB4 immunization significantly reduced bacterial loads and inflamed lung areas compared to BCG immunization (p < 0.01) and protected against the H37Rv challenge performed at 17 weeks of BCG priming. …”
