Is. Grewal et al., LESSONS FROM GENETICALLY MANIPULATED ANIMAL-MODELS - APPROACHES TO STUDY ACTIVATION OF SELF-REACTIVE T-CELLS IN AUTOIMMUNE-DISEASES, Immunologist, 6(3), 1998, pp. 106
The precise mechanisms by which self-reactive T cells ore activated an
d tolerance to self antigens is broken ore. still not fully understood
. Here, Iqbal S. Grewal and colleagues discuss how the study of geneti
cally manipulated animals has increased our understanding of how autor
eactive T cells are activated in various models of autoimmunity.
