CD49a Expression Defines Tissue-Resident CD8 + T Cells Poised for Cytotoxic Function in Human Skin
1 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cells form a heterogeneous population that provides localized protection against pathogens. Here, we identify CD49a as a marker that differentiates CD8 + Trm cells on a compartmental and functional basis. In human skin epithelia, CD8 + CD49a + Trm cells produced interferon-γ, whereas CD8 + CD49a − Trm cells produced interleukin-17 (IL-17). In addition, CD8 + CD49a + Trm cells from...
