Tissue-resident immune cells play important roles in local tissue homeostasis and infection control. There is no information on the functional role of lung-resident CD3-NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ cells in intranasal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-vaccinated and/or Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-infected mice. Therefore, we phenotypically and functionally characterized these cells in mice vaccinated intranasally with BCG. We found that intranasal BCG vaccination increased CD3-NK1.1+ cells with a tissue-resident phenotype (CD69+CD103+) in the lungs during the first 7 d after BCG vaccination. Three months post-BCG vaccination, Mtb infection induced the expansion of CD3-NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ (lung-resident) cells in the lung. Adoptive transfer of lung-resident CD3-NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ cells from the lungs of BCG-vaccinated mice to Mtb-infected naive mice resulted in a lower bacterial burden and reduced inflammation in the lungs. Our findings demonstrated that intranasal BCG vaccination induces the expansion of CD3-NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ (lung-resident) cells to provide protection against Mtb infection.

Lung-tissue-resident memory (T) CD8 T cells are critical for heterosubtypic immunity against influenza virus (IAV) reinfection. How T cells surveil the lung, respond to infection, and interact with other cells remains unresolved. Here, we used IAV infection of mice in combination with intravital and static imaging to define the spatiotemporal dynamics of lung T cells before and after recall infection.

CD8 T cell tissue resident memory (T) cells are especially suited to control pathogen spread at mucosal sites. However, their maintenance in lung is short-lived. TCR-dependent NFkB signaling is crucial for T cell memory but how and when NFkB signaling modulates tissue resident and circulating T cell memory during the immune response is unknown.

Young infants frequently experience respiratory tract infections, yet vaccines designed to provide mucosal protection are lacking. Localizing pathogen-specific cellular and humoral immune responses to the lung could provide improved immune protection. We used a well-characterized murine model of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to study the development of lung-resident memory T cells (T) in neonatal compared to adult mice.

Tissue-resident immunity underlies essential host defenses against pathogens, but analysis in humans has lacked model systems where epithelial infection and accompanying resident immune cell responses can be observed . Indeed, human primary epithelial organoid cultures typically omit immune cells, and human tissue resident-memory lymphocytes are conventionally assayed without an epithelial infection component, for instance from peripheral blood, or after extraction from organs. Further, the study of resident immunity in animals can be complicated by interchange between tissue and peripheral immune compartments.
