Cytotoxic CD8+ Temra cells show loss of chromatin accessibility at genes associated with T cell activation
2 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
As humans age, their memory T cell compartment expands due to the lifelong exposure to antigens. This expansion is characterized by terminally differentiated CD8 + T cells (Temra), which possess NK cell-like phenotype and are associated with chronic inflammatory conditions. Temra cells are predominantly driven by the sporadic reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV), yet their epigenomic patterns and cellular...
