The Mantoux Test : a model for tracking T cell differentiation in the skin during secondary immune challenge

In this study, we hypothesized that T cells differentiate in the skin as a consequence of localised proliferation at the site of secondary immune challenge in humans. One consequence of cellular proliferation is telomere shortening, which can be counteracted by telomerase. It is recognised that telo...
