Abstract

The role of self-peptides in influencing the development of the T-cell repertoire has been the focus of recent studies. The findings suggest that the recognition of self-peptides bound to MHC proteins in the thymus is part of the thymic self-recognition process that results in selective maturation, or positive selection of T cells.
