Abstract
Intraepithelial lymphocytes form one of the largest populations of T lymphocytes in the body and probably play an important role in both immune defence and in immunopathology in the intestine. Nevertheless, their functions are unclear, partly because they have an unusual phenotype, with a large proportion of CD8+ T cells, many of which do not express pan T cell markers such as Thy1 or CD5 (1).
