Remarkably, the development of a canonical effector response was relatively CD4-independent, suggesting that the effector and memory phases of the response can be dissociated. These observations highlight potential heterogeneity in memory cell competency, and might have important implications for vaccine design.

Selective expression of the interleukin 7 receptor identifies effector CD8 T cells that give rise to long-lived memory cells. Nat Immunol. 4:2003;1191-1198 This paper suggests that the subset of effector CD8+ T cells that express IL-7R at the peak of the response are fated to differentiate into memory cells. This observation implies that memory cells commit to the memory lineage while still effectors, and provides a means for earlier analysis of developing memory cells.
