Human naive and memory T lymphocytes differ in telomeric length and replicative potential.
21 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
The present study has assessed the replicative history and the residual replicative potential of human naive and memory T cells. Telomeres are unique terminal chromosomal structures whose length has been shown to decrease with cell division in vitro and with increased age in vivo for human somatic cells. We therefore assessed telomere length as a measure of the in vivo replicative history of naive and memory...
