T cell differentiation involved in immune response

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0002292


The process in which an antigenically naive T cell acquires the specialized features of an effector, regulatory, or memory T cell as part of an immune response. Effector T cells include cells which provide T cell help or exhibit cytotoxicity towards other cells. [ GOC:add http://openisbn.com/search.php?q=0781735149&isbn=1/ ]
