immune system
• the majority of mature CD8 T cells in the periphery express the transgenic T cell receptor (TCR) that is specific for influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) peptide presented by MHC-Class I H2-Kd
• 40% of the CD8 T cells in the blood are reactive to HA peptide presented by H2-Kd
• most thymocytes also express the transgenic TCR
|
• skewing toward the development of single-positive CD8 T cells is evident in the thymus
• there are 4-fold more CD8 T cells than CD4 T cells found in the lymph nodes
