The pool of mature T cells comprises a heterogeneous mixture of naive and memory CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells. These cells are long lived at a population level but differ markedly in their relative rates of turnover and survival. Here, we review how contact with exogenous stimuli, notably self MHC ligands and various gamma(c) cytokines, plays a decisive role in controlling normal T cell homeostasis.
成熟T细胞库由初始和记忆性CD4(+)及CD8(+)细胞的异质混合物组成。这些细胞在群体水平上寿命较长,但在其相对的更新率和存活率方面存在显著差异。在此,我们综述了与外源性刺激(尤其是自身MHC配体和各种γ(c)细胞因子)的接触如何在控制正常T细胞稳态中发挥决定性作用。
