Gene ontology ID
GO:0002292
Definition
The process in which an antigenically naive T cell acquires the specialized features of an effector, regulatory, or memory T cell as part of an immune response. Effector T cells include cells which provide T cell help or exhibit cytotoxicity towards other cells
Comment
Note that immunologists typically use the word 'development' to refer to cells of B or T cell lineages undergoing the process that GO describes as 'cell differentiation'.
Synonyms
1. T cell development involved in immune response
2. T cell differentiation during immune response
3. T lymphocyte differentiation during immune response
4. T-cell differentiation during immune response
5. T-lymphocyte differentiation during immune response
