Analysis of CD161 expression on human CD8+ T cells defines a distinct functional subset with tissue-homing properties
CD8(+) T lymphocytes play a key role in host defense, in particular against important persistent viruses, although the critical functional properties of such cells in tissue are not fully defined. We have previously observed that CD8(+) T cells specific for tissue-localized viruses such as hepatitis...
