Enumeration, Phenotyping, and Clinical Associations of Tissue‐Resident T Cells in the Ecto‐ and Endocervix of Women Attending a Colposcopy Clinic

Location and heterogeneous expression profiles underscore the need to better understand their role in microbial interactions, inflammation, and genital infection susceptibility in women.
