Memory T-cells comprise the antigenic experience of an individual. Phenotype and function
of memory T-cells are indicative of their imprinting conditions. Thus, deciphering T-cell
memory is instrumental to understand how vasculitides develop and evolve. Analysis of T-
cell memory is complicated by the fact that T-cells display considerable heterogeneity in
terms of phenotype, function, and anatomical distribution. Whereas central memory T-cells
(T CM) home to secondary lymphoid organs to mount antigen-driven proliferative responses …
