Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) modulates the expression of tissue-restricted antigens (TSAs) and promotes central tolerance in the thymus. However, few autoreactive T cells escape negative selection and reach the periphery, where peripheral tolerance is required to avoid autoimmunity. Murine lymph nodes (LNs) have been shown to contain "stromal" cells expressing AIRE and TSAs. Here we report the occurrence of...
