Tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cells form a heterogeneous population that provides localized protection against pathogens. Here, we identify CD49a as a marker that differentiates CD8<sup>+</sup> Trm cells on a compartmental and functional basis. In human skin epithelia, CD8<sup>+</sup>CD49a<sup>+</sup> Trm cells produced interferon-γ, whereas CD8<sup>+</sup>CD49a<sup>-</sup> Trm cells produced interleukin-17 (IL-17). In addition, CD8<sup>+</sup>CD49a<sup>+</sup> Trm cells from healthy skin rapid ...[more]
