Function, phenotype and development of human CD161+CD8 T cells

Abstract:

Tc17 cells and the semi-invariant human mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are important CD8+ tissue-homing cell populations. Both are characterized by high expression of CD161 (++) and type-17 differentiation, yet their origins and relationships remain poorly defined. By transcriptional and functional analyses it is demonstrated that a pool of polyclonal, pre-committed type-17 CD161++CD8αβ+ T cells exists in cord blood, from which a prominent MAIT cell (TCR Vα7.2+/Vβ2 or 13.2) popul...
