Annotation genes
CD74
Annotation rationales
CD74 with broad HLA-II suggests inducible MHC-II expression during prolonged synapses, enabling T–T communication and retention of antigenic context.
Functional implications
Facilitate T–T help and sustain memory by re-presenting antigens within lymphoid niches, enhancing recall coordination.
