title: Generating CD8 T cell heterogeneity: attack of the clones.
abstract: Pathogen-induced inflammation modulates CD8 T cell effector and memory differentiation. In this issue of Immunity, Plumlee et al. (2013) demonstrate that clonally distinct CD8 T cells have the ability to generate numerous types of effector cell fates based on extrinsic pathogen-induced environmental cues.
