Abstract excerpt
The T cell can be defined in the context of two properties--the recognition specificity of the T cell receptor (TCR) heterodimer and the functional response of the T cell after TCR stimulation. Once a particular TCR heterodimer is expressed and successfully selected during thymic development, the antigen specificity is fixed for all the clonal progeny of that cell. In contrast, the potential functional responses...
