Low 2-dimensional CD4 T cell receptor affinity for myelin sets in motion delayed response kinetics.

T cells recognizing self-peptides that mediate autoimmune disease and those that are responsible for efficacious immunity against pathogens may differ in affinity for antigen due to central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms. Here we utilize prototypical self-reactive (myelin) and viral-specific (L...
