T cell survival in the periphery is an active process, depending on continuous TCR engagement by peptide-MHC complexes and/or response to environmental cytokines. Naive T cells require interactions with the MHC restricting element. The survival requirements of memory T cells are as yet insufficiently characterized, but MHC-restricted interactions are not necessary.
外周T细胞的存活是一个活跃的过程,依赖于肽 - 主要组织相容性复合体(peptide-MHC complexes)持续的T细胞受体(TCR)结合以及/或者对环境细胞因子的反应。初始T细胞需要与MHC限制元件相互作用。记忆T细胞的存活需求尚未得到充分表征,但MHC限制的相互作用并非必需。
