Abstract

Significance: Exactly how memory cells are selected into a recall response to acute viral infection (stochastic or deterministic) remains unresolved. This paper demonstrates definitively that selection of virus-specific CD8 + T cells from memory occurs via active selection of particular T-cell clones after secondary virus infection and that this selection appears to be based on the avidity of the T-cell receptor (TCR) for the virus-derived peptide (p) + major histocompatibility complex class I molecule. We also show that despite clear clonal preferences, there is no global narrowing of epitope-specific TCR diversity in the recall response. We propose that the immune system has evolved such a strategy to optimize cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses while safeguarding TCR repertoire diversity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
