Abstract
T cell memory in comparison with B cell memory is not well understood. This review focuses on CD8+ and CD4+ memory T cells. In this article we try to define memory cells and also present models of memory T cells formation. We would also like to delineate their differentiation into distinct subsets. Long-lived memory T cells consist in two main subsets: TCM and TEM. Recent studies have shown that not all cells considered to be memory cells differentiate into TCM and TEM, but a small proportion of theses cells exhibit naive cells phenotype. Memory T cells constitute a heterogeneous population of cells. In this study we lay stress on characteristic of main memory T cells subsets and their alleged participation in immune response upon reexposure to the Ag.
