What happens to naive T cells when they effectively encounter antigens?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the process that occurs when naive T cells come into contact with antigens, specifically what changes or actions take place in the T cells as the result of this interaction.
Answer
Naive T cells stop migrating, proliferate, and differentiate into effector or memory cells.
Naive T cells, upon encountering their specific antigen, stop migrating, proliferate, and differentiate into effector cells or memory cells.
Answer for screen readers
Naive T cells, upon encountering their specific antigen, stop migrating, proliferate, and differentiate into effector cells or memory cells.
More Information
Upon antigen encounter, naive T cells undergo clonal expansion, a process critical for an adaptive immune response.
