Abstract

Historically, most immune response studies have been limited to analyses of lymphoid tissue. However, peripheral sites of infection are likely to represent important sites of cell-mediated immune surveillance and effector function. Recent debates have centered on the persistence, trafficking patterns, effector activity, and protective role of non-lymphoid memory T cells.
