Effector lymphocytes are cells derived from naive lymphocytes after antigen activation. They can eliminate pathogens without further differentiation and are distinct from memory lymphocytes, which require additional differentiation to become effector cells.
Les cellules qui se différencient des lymphocytes naïfs après une activation initiale par un antigène et peuvent ensuite médier l'élimination des pathogènes du corps sans différenciation supplémentaire. Elles sont distinctes des lymphocytes mémoire, qui doivent subir une différenciation supplémentaire pour devenir des lymphocytes effecteurs.
