Abstract: During an immune response, T cells proliferate rapidly and acquire 'effector' functions, allowing them to kill infected cells. Most of these T cells then die, with a few surviving as memory T cells. A new technique has been developed, which seems to reliably identify which of the T cells will survive to become memory cells. It should have many implications for design of vaccines and in addressing immunological questions.
