Uneven distributions of naïve and memory T cells in the CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations derived from a single stem cell in an atomic bomb survivor: implications for the origins of the memory T-cell pools in adulthood.

Abstract excerpt

The processes that lead to the establishment and maintenance of memory T-cell pools in humans are not well understood. In this study, we examined the emergence of naïve and memory T cells in an adult male who was exposed to an atomic bomb radiation dose of approximately 2 Gy in 1945 at the age of 17. The analysis presented here was made possible by our earlier observation that this particular individual carries a...
