The appropriate recirculation and migration of naive, effector and memory T cells into
inflamed tissue are precisely controlled by adhesive interactions with vascular endothelium.
Analyses of CD4 lymphocytes have indicated that naive and antigen-experienced cells
exhibit distinctive patterns of homing and recirculation, and that subsets of cells
preferentially localize in different anatomical locations as a consequence of previous
antigen exposure and differences in adhesion receptor usage.
