Germinal Center T Cells: Analysis of Their Proliferative Capacity

  • Chapter
Dendritic Cells in Fundamental and Clinical Immunology

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 378))

Abstract

Several immunohistochemical studies have revealed the existence of T cells expressing the CD57 antigen in the germinal center1. A few are also found in the interfollicular zones and the mantle zone2. Phenotypically they are CD4+, CD8- cells. They do not express Leu8, CD16 or CDllb3,4,5. These cells are not fully activated being CD25-,CD71- and HLA-DR- cells6.
