The pathogens responsible for leprosy, tuberculosis and the leishmaniases can induce different classes of immunity, but protection is provided only by a cell-mediated response. Here, Peter Bretscher proposes a strategy to achieve an immunological imprint that ensures a stable cell-mediated response upon natural infection.
