Abstract
Effector T cells constitute a critical component in the immune response to most viral infections (Doherty et al. 1992). Consequently, understanding the mechanisms regulating the generation and function of effector T cells is central to the study of viral pathogenesis. It is characteristic that T cells — as opposed to B cells — are only able to exert their effector function within a very limited distance. Therefore, once effector T cells are generated, they must be able to migrate to relevant sites of infection. This requires a set of surface receptors which direct the migration of effector cells to infected areas. However, not only must fully differentiated effector T cells be able to reach any part of the organism, but, it is also nescessary for naive T cells to continually recirculate in order for the immune system to optimally utilize the limited number of cells with T cell receptors (TCRs) relevant to a given antigen.
