Regulation of the Alpha and Delta T Cell Receptor Repertoires
<p>The adaptive immune system, comprised of B and T lymphocytes, responds with unique specificity to antigens. Specificity is imparted by the process of V(D)J recombination. During V(D)J recombination, gene segments spread across genomic space are assembled to generate unique antigen receptors by a …

An exploration of media repertoires in South Africa: 2002-2014
… Surveys. Using factor analysis, six media repertoires are identified and, utilising structural equation modelling, marginal means for various demographic categories by year are estimated. Measurement error is determined with the aid of bootstrapping. These estimates are plotted to provide …

Dendritic Cell Regulation of Peripheral Tolerance in Polyclonal T Cell Repertoires
… peripheral tolerance in disease-prone polyclonal repertoires such as in the NOD model, would be far more challenging than the previously studied tolerance in non-autoreactive transgenic models had been. We recognized that success in DC-targeting-based autoimmune therapy would first require a …
