Quorum sensing allows T cells to discriminate between self and nonself
T cells orchestrate pathogen-specific adaptive immune responses by identifying peptides derived from pathogenic proteins that are displayed on the surface of infected cells. Host cells also display peptide fragments from the host's own proteins. Incorrectly identifying peptides derived from the...
