Antigen-driven CD4+ T-cell anergy: a pathway to peripheral T regulatory cells.

abstract：:T lymphocytes are characterized by the use of structurally diverse TCR. The discovery of subsets of canonical T cells that have structurally homogeneous TCR presents an enigma: What antigens do these T cells recognize, and how does their antigen specificity relate to their functions? One subset of canonical T cells is...
