Narrowing the gap: preserving repertoire diversity despite clonal selection during the CD4 T cell response

T cell immunity relies on the generation and maintenance of a diverse repertoire of T cell antigen receptors (TCRs). The strength of signaling emanating from the TCR dictates the fate of T cells during development, as well as during the immune response. Whereas development of new T cells in the thym...
