The diversity of antigen-specific TCR repertoires reflects the relative complexity of epitopes recognized.

abstract：:By discriminating self from nonself and controlling the magnitude and class of immune responses, the immune system mounts effective immunity against virtually any foreign antigens but avoids harmful immune responses to self. These are two equally important and related but distinct processes, which function in concert ...
