The clone size of peripheral CD8 T cells is regulated by TCR promiscuity

Positive selection in the thymus and peripheral T cell survival depend on T cell receptor (TCR)–major histocompatibility complex (MHC) interactions, but it is not yet clear if both events follow exactly the same rules. We studied peripheral T cell survival and clone sizes in conditions of progressiv...
