Whether differences between naive cell-derived primary (1°) and memory cell-derived secondary (2°) CD4(+) T-cell effectors contribute to protective recall responses is unclear. Here, we compare these effectors directly after influenza A virus infection. Both develop with similar kinetics, but 2° effectors accumulate in greater number in the infected lung and are the critical component of memory CD4(+) T-cell-mediated protection against influenza A virus, independent of earlier-acting memory-cell ...[more]
