abstract：:Expression of CD4 or CD8 on the cell surface is an important guide for discriminating the immunological functions of T cells. However, a minor T cell subset, which lacks both CD4 and CD8 molecules but bears the usual form of T cell receptor (TCR) alpha beta (CD4-CD8-TCR alpha beta+ T cells), has recently been found no...
