Age-associated increase of low-avidity cytomegalovirus-specific CD8+ T cells that re-express CD45RA.

The mechanisms regulating memory CD8(+) T cell function and homeostasis during aging are unclear. CD8(+) effector memory T cells that re-express CD45RA increase considerably in older humans and both aging and persistent CMV infection are independent factors in this process. We used MHC class I tetra...
