How can naïve and memory T cells be differentiated?
Through the form of the cell-surface T-cell signaling molecule CD45.
What are the two isoforms of CD45?
CD45RA and CD45RO.
Which CD45 isoform do naïve T cells express?
Naïve T cells express the CD45RA isoform.
Which CD45 isoform do memory T cells express?
Memory T cells express the CD45RO isoform.
Why is CD45RO important for memory T cells?
It is more efficient at signaling and initiating memory T-cell activation.
What are some other cell-surface markers used to differentiate naïve and memory T cells?
Chemokine receptor CCR7
L-selectin (CD62L)
CD103
