Annotation rationales
CD8 central-memory T cells are antigen-experienced cytotoxic-lineage cells with lymph-node homing, self-renewal and high recall proliferative capacity.
Functional implications
They sustain long-term cellular memory and rapidly produce expanded cytotoxic progeny after re-exposure to antigen.
