Reminders • Exam 3- Will be Returned next week. • MC average: 80%
Gaining effector T cell function Effector functions are detected following proliferation of the naïve T cell for ~4-5 days (IL2 induced).
How does the activation of a naïve T cell differ from activation of an effector T cell? • Effector T cells do not require costimulation.
Effector T cells are more easily activated & no longer demonstrate the migration pattern of naïve T cells:
