Abstract excerpt
Naive and primed alpha beta T cells can be distinguished on the basis of their differential expression of CD45RA and CD45RO, respectively. The present study indicates that these CD45-isoforms also identify naive and primed maturational stages of gamma delta T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. In peripheral blood, all V gamma 9-V delta 2 gamma delta T cells reportedly express CD45RO whereas all V delta gamma...
