“…DENV‐specific Tem and especially Temra cells have highly specialized gene expression programs and up‐regulated genes related to T‐cell activation, co‐stimulation, and effector functions . DENV‐specific CD8 T cells from both effector memory subsets responded to DENV‐specific stimuli by producing IFN‐ γ in association with genes involved in activation and cytotoxicity, such as CD69 , CD160 , CRTAM , SLAMF7 , TNFRSF9 , TNF , CCL3 , CCL4 , and GZMB , XCL1 , and XCL2 . Additionally, DENV‐specific Temra cells express a few killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptor (KIR) genes including KIR2DL3 , which are innate immunity signatures and are expressed on natural killer cells .…”
