TCR, co-stimulatory molecules, and cytokines such as IL-2, -12, -21,
VetBooks.ir and -27. These activated cells migrate to peripheral sites and
differentiate into effector and memory cells. Short-lived effector
cells form the bulk of the population and will mostly die once
infections are cleared. Cells that may have received less stimulation
survive and become long-lived memory cells. The differentiation
into these two cell populations is probably due to asymmetric cell
division.
