1
New cards

How can naïve and memory T cells be differentiated?

Through the form of the cell-surface T-cell signaling molecule CD45.

2
New cards

What are the two isoforms of CD45?

CD45RA and CD45RO.

3
New cards

Which CD45 isoform do naïve T cells express?

Naïve T cells express the CD45RA isoform.

4
New cards

Which CD45 isoform do memory T cells express?

Memory T cells express the CD45RO isoform.

5
New cards

Why is CD45RO important for memory T cells?

It is more efficient at signaling and initiating memory T-cell activation.

6
New cards

What are some other cell-surface markers used to differentiate naïve and memory T cells?

  • Chemokine receptor CCR7

  • L-selectin (CD62L)

  • CD103
