alpha-beta T cell differentiation involved in immune response
The process in which an antigenically naive alpha-beta T cell acquires the specialized features of an effector, regulatory, or memory T cell during 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/ ]
