Thymic Selection Generates a Large T Cell Pool Recognizing a Self-Peptide in Humans

The low frequency of self-peptide–specific T cells in the human preimmune repertoire has so far precluded their direct evaluation. Here, we report an unexpected high frequency of T cells specific for the self-antigen Melan-A/MART-1 in CD8 single–positive thymocytes from human histocompatibility leuk...
