Abstract excerpt
In humans, circulating CD8(+) memory T cells to a nonpersistent virus (influenza) lie within CCR7(+)CD45RA(-) central memory, whereas memory to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent, EBV lytic, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigens are progressively larger in size and are more biased toward CCR7(-)CD45RA(-) effector memory and CCR7(-)CD45RA(+) terminally differentiated compartments. We found that these populations are...
