Annotation rationales
CD4 effector-memory T cells are antigen-experienced helper cells with reduced lymphoid homing and increased readiness for peripheral-tissue effector responses.
Functional implications
They patrol blood and tissues and rapidly deliver helper cytokines, inflammatory signals or limited cytotoxic activity during recall responses.
