Virtual memory T cells develop and mediate bystander protective immunity in an IL-15-dependent manner
Virtual memory T cells are CD8 T cells with memory phenotype present in unimmunized mice. Here the authors show that these cells have higher affinity for self-antigen, depend on IL-15 for proliferation and antigen-non-specific cytotoxicity in mice, and that a similar population exists in humans.
