| Research Abstract |
Although it is suggested that the nature of memory CTL changes over repeated antigenic challenges, molecular characteristics of distinct memory CTL with different number of antigen experience are largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed genome wide transcriptome of primary and secondary memory CTL using a next-generation DNA sequencer. Memory CTL changes molecular signature as they experience the responses and memory CTL senescence differs from exhaustion.
