Fig. 2.
Depiction of how CD45RA may be re-expressed (highlighted in figure) despite not representing a truly naïve T lymphocyte. Unlike TEMRA cells, true naïve recent thymic emigrant T cells express CD31 and CCR7 surface markers. Gated from CD45+CD3+ T cells expressing either CD4 or CD8. CCR7, chemokine receptor 7; PD1, programmed death 1; LKRG1, killer lectin inhibitory receptor 1; TCM, T central memory; TEMRA, T effector memory re-expressing CD45RA; TEM, T effector memory.
