Abstract
T cells in animals have several unexpected properties. The work described here concerns two of these properties. The first property to be discussed concerns the fact that T cells divide in the apparent absence of antigen when transferred to T cell deficient mice. The second investigates the finding that memory T cells contain very large amounts of mRNA for certain chemokines. These two phenomena will be discussed in separate sections below.
