[h=3]Abstract[/h] The bone marrow (BM) is not only a reservoir of hematopoietic stem cells but a repository of immunological memory cells. Further characterizing BM-resident memory T cells would be helpful to reveal the complicated relationship between the BM and immunological memory. In this study, we identified CD122[SUP]high[/SUP] stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1) [SUP]high[/SUP] B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) [SUP]high[/SUP] CD4[SUP]+[/SUP] stem cell-like memory T cells (TSCMs) as a distinct memory T cell subset, which preferentially reside in the BM, where they respond vigorously to blood-borne antigens. Interestingly, the natural CD4[SUP]+[/SUP] TSCMs homing to the BM colocalized with VCAM-1[SUP]+[/SUP] IL-15[SUP]+[/SUP] IL-7[SUP]+[/SUP] CXCL-12[SUP]+[/SUP] stromal cells. Furthermore, compared to spleen-resident CD4[SUP]+[/SUP] TSCMs, BM-resident TSCMs induced the production of high-affinity antibodies against influenza by B lymphocytes more efficiently. Taken together, these observations indicate that the BM provides an appropriate microenvironment for the survival of CD4[SUP]+[/SUP] TSCMs, which broadens our knowledge regarding the memory maintenance of antigen-specific CD4[SUP]+[/SUP] T lymphocytes.
