“…Several studies have confirmed that the relative enrichment of Vd1 cells as a proportion of the total cd T-cell population is also reflected as an increase in absolute Vd1 33,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] ) T-cell count in the periphery. 37,40,47 In acute, chronic and naturally controlled infection, the majority of Vd1 cells exhibit a T EMRA phenotype, 37,40,41,44 which correlates with absolute Vd1 T-cell counts 47 and is suggestive of antigen-driven proliferation and activation. 37,40,47 In acute, chronic and naturally controlled infection, the majority of Vd1 cells exhibit a T EMRA phenotype, 37,40,41,44 which correlates with absolute Vd1 T-cell counts 47 and is suggestive of antigen-driven proliferation and activation.…”
