Abstract

T and B memory cells are critical for host defences against pathogens. However, converging lines of evidence indicate that alloreactive memory T cells can play a detrimental role in the transplantation setting. This emergence of memory cells seems to be facilitated by several induction therapies and immunosuppressive agents, which lead to T cell loss. Herein, we briefly review some clinical and experimental observations from the literature, highlighting the immunological risk associated with enhanced T-cell memory responses.
