Early and late cellular networks involved in Trm cell differentiation and maintenance. After viral respiratory pneumonia, early pulmonary CD8 TRM cell differentiation is driven by re-encounter with antigen presented via interstitial classic monocytes (mnc) and opposed by alveolar macrophages that maintain lung homeostasis. B cell-dependent tissue-resident CD4 helper T cells (TRH) support TRM cell maintenance through IL-21 dependent survival. TRM intrinsic PD-1 signaling prevents pathology in the absence of infectious virus. Created with BioRender.
