NCIt synonyms : CD8 Memory T-Cell; CD8 Positive Memory T-Cell; CD8 Memory T Lymphocyte; CD8 Memory T Cell; CD8-Positive Memory T-Lymphocyte; CD8 Memory T-Lymphocyte;
NCIt definition : T lymphocytes that are derived from naïve CD8 expressing T cells that have been primed
through antigen exposure, followed by a cycle of proliferation (expansion) and apoptosis
(contraction), that yields a long-lasting population of highly antigen-specific memory
cells. These cells can be identified by the presence of CD8 and the absence of CD45RA
molecules on their surface.;
