Orаl inоculаtiоn with rоtаvirus, an intestinal pathogen, induces adaptive immune responses that are initiated in gut-associated lymphoid tissue, such as mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches. The rotavirus-specific effector T cells that are generated in this response are never found in the circulation, but home directly from the lymphoid tissue to the epithelium without ever leaving the intestinal environment.
