Human and Murine Clonal CD8+ T Cell Expansions Arise during Tuberculosis Because of TCR Selection
6 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
The immune system can recognize virtually any antigen, yet T cell responses against several pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are restricted to a limited number of immunodominant epitopes. The host factors that affect immunodominance are incompletely understood. Whether immunodominant epitopes elicit protective CD8+ T cell responses or instead act as decoys to subvert immunity and allow pathogens...
