Annotation rationales
CD8 tissue-resident memory T cells are non-circulating cytotoxic lymphocytes durably retained at peripheral sites.
Functional implications
They provide immediate local recognition and killing of recurrent pathogens or malignant cells and recruit broader immunity through cytokines.
