Age-related accumulation of T cells with markers of relatively stronger autoreactivity leads to functional erosion of T cells

BACKGROUND: Thymic involution is a prominent characteristic of an aging immune system. When thymic function is reduced/absent, the peripheral T cell pool is subject to the laws of peripheral T cell homeostasis that favor survival/expansion of T cell receptors with relatively higher functional avidit...
