Effects of CD5 on different stages of T cell development. CD5 expression on thymocytes is directly proportional to the signaling intensity of the TCR:self-pMHC interaction. In the periphery, T cells with higher CD5 levels (CD5hi) are better responders to foreign-peptide. Long-lived memory cells populations are enriched for CD5hi T cells [34,102,119].
