In this review, we will focus on T cells and discuss the surface and molecular markers that are associated with T cell senescence. We will also look at the implications that senescent T cells could have on human health and diseases. Finally, we will discuss the benefits of having these ...
Immunosenescence is marked by a progressive decrease in the number of naive cells and an increase in the number of memory cells showing poor functionality. The differentiation of T cells toward a senescent phenotype is characterized typically by clonal expansion of CD8+ T lymphocytes that lack ...
T cells follow a distinct process of activation, proliferation, and differentiation. However, in settings of chronic infection, autoimmunity, and cancer, they can subsequently become functionally and phenotypically exhausted. T cell exhaustion (Tex) is a blanket term that covers a compromised function ...

Traditionally, T cells were CD4(+) helper or CD8(+) cytotoxic T cells, and with antibodies, they were the soldiers of immunity. Now, many functionally distinct subsets of activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells have been described, each with distinct cytokine and transcription factor expression...
During chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells become functionally exhausted, which is reflected by increased expression of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (Tim-

Activated T cells were expressed as a percentage of the total of CD3-positive cells. CD25, CD26, CD40L, and CD69/CD3 percentages increased with the severity of the coronary syndrome. In patients with AMI all percentages were significantly higher than in patients with chronic stable angina. ...
Due to difficulties in assessing the TCR avidity in polyclonal population of T cells, it is currently not known whether high avidity T cells preferentially survive in aging individuals, and what impact this might have on the function of the immune system and development of autoimmune diseases. ...
Helper T cells and suppressor T cells can be generated in vitro, yielding effector cells with radioresistant function that regulate a cytotoxic T cell response to alloantigen. The Ly 6.1 and Ly 7.2 antigen phenotype of these regulatory effector cells has been determined. Ly 7.2 was found to be...
