Your body is always generating a bunch of random T-cells and when an infection occurs, the T-cells it generated that by chance happen to be effective will grow in population and kill all the invaders. This much larger population of T-cells then stays in your body and grants you immunity because having so many of them around lets them instantly kill any infection you obtain. Unfortunately if T-cells are not killing anything they don't tend to grow, so this large standing army slowly decays if you don't get infected.
The limiting factor in how many different armies of T-cells you have stationed in your body is primarily due to the fact that most T-cells never end up effective against any threats you encounter and there is never a reason for many T-cells to proceed to grow and divide.
