Expressions of activation markers have been described on the surface of T cells in the blood
and the lung in both health and disease. We have studied the distribution of activation
markers on human lung T cells and have found that only certain populations exist.
Importantly, the presence or absence of some markers appears to predict those of others, in
particular cells which express CD103 also express CD49a and CD69, whereas cells which
do not express CD69 also do not express CD49a or CD103. In view of the paucity of …
