Avidity for antigen shapes clonal dominance in CD8 + T cell populations specific for persistent DNA viruses
14 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
The forces that govern clonal selection during the genesis and maintenance of specific T cell responses are complex, but amenable to decryption by interrogation of constituent clonotypes within the antigen-experienced T cell pools. Here, we used point-mutated peptide-major histocompatibility complex class I (pMHCI) antigens, unbiased TCRB gene usage analysis, and polychromatic flow cytometry to probe directly ex...
