| Related synonym | CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell differentiation during immune response, CD8-positive, alpha-beta T lymphocyte differentiation during immune response, CD8-positive, alpha-beta T-cell differentiation during immune response, CD8-positive, alpha-beta T-lymphocyte differentiation during immune response, CD8-positive, alpha-beta intraepithelial T cell development |
| Description | The process in which an antigenically naive CD8-positive, alpha-beta 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'. |
