Buffered memory: a hypothesis for the maintenance of functional, virus-specific CD8(+) T cells during cytomegalovirus infection.

abstract：:Many clues point to a role for T lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), although the importance of these cells and their position within the rheumatoid pathogenic scheme remain unknown. Encouraged by data from animal models of T-lymphocyte-mediated autoimmunity, a major focus of research into th...
