Kinetics of the accumulation of natural and induced IELs

Natural intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) gain their antigen-experienced phenotype and gut-homing capacity in the thymus during their initial agonist-based selection in response to self antigens.

They populate the gut compartment early, before environmental antigens have been encountered.

Conventional naive T cells differentiate into effector cells in response to peripherally encountered antigens and gradually accumulate over time as antigen-experienced induced IELs in the gut.
