Antigen Recognition By Autoreactive Cd4(+) Thymocytes Drives Homeostasis Of The Thymic Medulla
The thymic medulla is dedicated for purging the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of self-reactive specificities. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) play a pivotal role in this process because they express numerous peripheral tissue-restricted self-antigens. Although it is well known that medu...
