“…The genes of CD4, interleukin 2 receptor subunit alpha (IL-2RA), and OX40 (also called tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 4, TNFSF4) are specifically expressed in the CD4 + T ss cells, whereas CD8A, CD8B, and KLRD1 are expressed in the CD8 + T ss cells (Figure 1C and 1D). These observations confirmed a difference in gene expression between the CD4 + lineage and CD8 + lineage (Kioussis and Ellmeier, 2002; Mingueneau et al, 2013; Monaco et al, 2019; Satpathy et al, 2018; Szabo et al, 2019). The TF Foxp3, a key regulatory gene for the development of Tregs, is highly expressed in CD4 + T ss (Figure 1C) (Hori et al, 2003).…”
