Table 1.

Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell markers used by authors to define skin TRM cells. Often, a combination of markers was used. For the most part, TRM cells were either defined as CD3+, CD4+ or CD8+ T cells with an expression or absence of different markers. CD49a (α-subunit of the α1β1 integrin receptor) is another marker with important delineating functional implications. CD69 suppresses sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 expression, which prevents T cell egress from tissues into the circulation. CD103 binds E-cadherin on epithelial cells, which mediates retention of T cells in the skin.
