Repetitive antigen stimulation in the periphery dictates the composition and recall responses of brain-resident memory CD8+ T cells

Summary: The human brain harbors virus-specific, tissue-resident memory (TRM) CD8+ T cells. However, the impact of repeated peripheral viral infection on the generation, phenotype, localization, and recall responses of brain TRM remains elusive. Here, utilizing two murine models of peripheral viral...

description Summary: The human brain harbors virus-specific, tissue-resident memory (TRM) CD8+ T cells. However, the impact of repeated peripheral viral infection on the generation, phenotype, localization, and recall responses of brain TRM remains elusive. Here, utilizing two murine models of peripheral viral infection, we demonstrate that circulating memory CD8+ T cells with previous antigen exposure exhibit a markedly reduced capacity to form brain TRM compared to naive CD8+ T cells. Repetitively stimulated brain TRM also demonstrate differential inhibitory receptor expression, preserved functionality, and divergent localization patterns compared to primary memory counterparts. 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.
