“…This definition encompasses all processes described as immune memory in plants, invertebrates and verte-brates, although it does not discriminate between the differences in action observed within various organismal groups. In a recent review, Pradeu and Du Pasquier (2018) propose a multidimensional model of immune memory, in which they discriminate no less than six varieties of immune memory: classical adaptive memory in vertebrates, NK-cell immune memory, trained immunity in myeloid cells, priming in invertebrates, immunological memory in plants (e.g., SAR), and Crispr/Cas-based memory in bacteria and archaea (Pradeu and Du Pasquier, 2018). These forms of immunological memory differ in their properties based on a number of basic characteristics of the response: strength, speed, extinction (reversal to the basal state), duration, and specificity.…”
