Virus-Associated CD8 < sup > + < /sup > T-Cells Are Not Activated Through Antigen-Mediated Interaction Inside Atherosclerotic Lesions

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that virus-specific CD8+ T-cells are tissue enriched in atherosclerotic lesions; however, their potential contribution to inflammation may involve antigen-independent mechanisms.PMID:38511327 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.123.320539
