Lymphocyte subsets home in a particular manner depending on their class, state of activation and 'allegiance' to certain tissues. Naive lymphocytes home preferentially through lymphoid tissues, whereas effector and memory cells home preferentially through non-lymphoid tissues and exist as phenotypic
Typical T and B lymphocytes in the secondary lymphoid organs are long-lived cells that are selected from a large pool of short-lived precursor cells in the primary lymphoid organs. The bulk of mature T and B cells are immunologically naive and remain in interphase for prolonged periods. Contact with
