T cell immunity has long been described in terms of two circulating memory populations. Central memory T (T(CM)) cells migrate between the secondary lymphoid organs and are capable of mounting a recall proliferative response on pathogen re-encounter, whereas effector memory T (T(EM)) cells traffic between blood and extralymphoid compartments for effective peripheral immune surveillance.
