IgE/antigen-FcϵRI crosslinking promotes antigen internalization and apoptosis in mouse mast cells. Dendritic cells uptake the apoptotic mast cells carrying internalized antigens, and thus can efficiently present the antigens to memory T cells.

ABSTRACT Recent advances in class II tetramer staining technology have allowed reliable direct ex vivo visualization of antigen-specific CD4 T cells. In order to define the frequency and phenotype of a prototype response to a nonpersistent pathogen, we have used such techniques to analyze influenza virus-specific memory CD4 T cells directly from blood. These responses are stably detectable ex vivo at low frequencies (range, 0.00012 to 0.0061% of CD4 T cells) and display a distinct “central memory” CD62L+ phenotype.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of cells derived from bone marrow that represent 1% or less of the total hematopoietic cells of any lymphoid organ or of the total cell count of the blood or epithelia. Dendritic cells comprise a heterogeneous population of cells localized in different tissues where they act as sentinels continuously capturing antigens to present them to T cells. Dendritic cells are uniquely capable of attracting and activating naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to initiate and modulate primary immune responses. They have the ability to coordinate tolerance or immunity depending on their activation status, which is why they are also considered as the orchestrating cells of the immune response. The purpose of this review is to provide a general overview of the current knowledge on ontogeny and subsets of human dendritic cells as well as their function and different biological roles.

Immunological memory exists so that following infection an expanded population of pathogen-specific lymphocytes can rapidly and efficiently control infection in the case of reexposure. However, in the case of CD8+ T lymphocytes, a population of unconventional CD44+CD122+ virtual memory T cells (TVM) has been described that possesses many, though not all, features of “true memory” T cells, without the requirement of first encountering cognate antigen. Here, we demonstrate a role for regulatory T cell-mediated restraint of TVM at least in part through limiting IL-15 trans-presentation by CD11b+ dendritic cells. Further, we show that keeping TVM in check ensures development of functional, antigen-specific “true” memory phenotype CD8+ T cells that can assist in pathogen control upon reexposure.
