Recent thymic emigrants and subsets of naive and memory T cells in the circulation of patients with head and neck cancer

Apoptosis of circulating CD8+ T lymphocytes is a frequent finding in patients with cancer. T-cell output by the thymus or antigen-driven expansion of circulating T cells could compensate for apoptosis and thus normalize their homeostasis. We studied the frequency of recent thymic emigrants (RTE) ide...
