Phenotypic classification of human CD8+ T cells reflecting their function: inverse correlation between quantitative expression of CD27 and cytotoxic effector function.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic classification of human CD8(+) T cells using three cell surface markers, CD27, CD28 and CD45RA, was recently suggested to be useful for identification of naive, memory and effector CD8(+) T cells. However, it still remains unclear whether such classification precisely reflects functional classification of CD8(+) T cells. To clarify this, we characterized each CD27CD28CD45RA subset of total and human...
