CD20+ T cells constitute a small subset of T cells. These are found among CD4+ , CD8+ , CD4+ CD8+ , CD4- CD8- T, and TCRγδ+ T cells, and have been poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to characterize peripheral blood (PB) CD20+ T cells and compare them to their PB CD20- T cell counterparts. PB from 17 healthy individuals was collected. The distribution of CD20+ T cells among maturation-associated T cells compartments (naïve, central memory, transitional memory, effector memory, and effector T cells), their polarization, activation status, and expression of immune-regulatory proteins were evaluated by flow cytometry...
