Abstract

Cytotoxic memory T cells play a critical role in combating viral infections; however, in some diseases they may contribute to tissue damage. In HAM/TSP, HTLV-1 Tax 11-19+ cells proliferate spontaneously in vitro and can be tracked using the Tax 11-19 MHC Class I tetramer. Immediately ex vivo, these cells were a mix of CD45RA^-/CCR7^- T_EM and CD45RA⁺/CCR7^- T_Diff memory CTL. The subsequent proliferating Tax 11-19 tetramer+ population expressed low levels of IL-7Rα, failed to respond to IL-7 and IL-15, and did not develop a T_CM phenotype. Thus, chronic exposure to viral antigen may result in a sustained pool of T_EM cells that home to the CNS and mediate the spinal cord pathology seen in this disease.
