Blimp‐1 homolog Hobit identifies effector‐type lymphocytes in humans
15 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) induces the formation of effector CD8(+) T cells that are maintained for decades during the latent stage of infection. Effector CD8(+) T cells appear quiescent, but maintain constitutive cytolytic capacity and can immediately produce inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ after stimulation.
