Live-cell imaging reveals the relative contributions of antigen-presenting cell subsets to thymic central tolerance
Both thymic epithelial cells and dendritic cells present self antigens in the thymus to mediate thymic selection and T cell tolerance. Here the authors quantify, using two-photon live imaging of mouse thymic slices, the relative contribution of these two cell types, as well as the effects of antigen...
