How heterogeneous thymic output and homeostatic proliferation shape naive T cell receptor clone abundance distributions
2019-06-19
Abstract excerpt
The set of T cells that express the same T cell receptor (TCR) sequence represent a T cell clone. The number of different naive T cell clones in an organism reflects the number of different T cell receptors (TCRs) arising from recombination of the V(D)J gene segments during T cell development in the thymus. TCR diversity and more specifically, the clone abundance distribution is an important factor in immune funct...
