Scope and Contents

Contents

Misselected CD8 cells that express T cell receptors (TCRs) that do not recognize class 1 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein can emerge from thymic selection. A postthymic quality control mechanism that purges these cells from the repertoire is defined here. The failure of mature CD8 cells to simultaneously engage their TCR and CD8 corec...
