Anatomy

Memory T Cells

A subset of activated T cells generated in response to primary immune challenge or immunization upon re-challenge (see IMMUNOLOGIC MEMORY). Memory T cells feature many discrete properties indicative of various differentiation such as expression pattern of CCR7 RECEPTORS and can be divided into central memory and effector memory T cells.
