TCR Affinity for Self-Ligands Influences the Development and Function of Encephalitogenic T Cells

The specificity and affinity of self-reactive T cells is likely to impact the development of autoimmune-disease causing T cells in the thymus as well as their function in the periphery. We identified a naturally occurring, low affinity variant of an MBP Ac1-11/I-A(u) specific TCR that is known to in...
