How does cross-reactive stimulation affect the longevity of CD8+ T cell memory?
Immunological memory--the ability to "remember" previously encountered pathogens and respond faster upon re-exposure is a central feature of the immune response in vertebrates. The cross-reactive stimulation hypothesis for the maintenance of memory proposes that memory cells specific for a...
