         When a peptide MHC trimolecular complex is recognized by the TCR, and the appropriate co-stimulatory signals are also generated, the transduced signals will ultimately lead to T cell activation, proliferation, and maturation.

           Over a period of several days, these cloned T cells multiply and become fully armed. Once armed, they also leave the lymph node, and reenter the blood stream via the thoracic duct.
         The armed CTL home to the site of infection by means of new adhesion molecules and chemotaxic factors induced by the inflammatory response.
        A CTL is seen extravasating from a blood vessel and then scanning epithelial cells for its specific peptide MHC Class I complex, in this case a viral peptide. When a complex is recognized, the CTL rapidly and efficiently kills the infected cell by apoptosis, and then moves on to scan more cells. Co-stimulatory signals are not required.
