T lymphocytes respond to small peptides in the context of major histocompatibility molecules and a host of other cell-surface proteins on antigen-presenting cells. By design, therefore, T-cell responses are dependent on the efficient and accurate processing of both foreign and self peptides by antig

In this study we investigated the basis for immunity or tolerance to a mouse serum protein, the fifth component of complement (C5). In CS-deficient mice this protein is absent from serum and therefore they are not tolerized. Immunization of CS-deficient mice with C5-sufficient serum generates CD4' T

## Abstract Induction of T cell tolerance in the thymus (central tolerance) is essential for preventing organ‐specific autoimmunity. This apparent paradox is in part explained by promiscuous expression of numerous tissue‐restricted self‐antigens (TRA) in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC), wh

Alterations in amino acid sequence can generate neo-epitopes from self proteins, causing autoaggressive immune attack. There is a range of possible post-translational modifications (PTMs) of mammalian proteins that can allow immune recognition of neo-self epitopes. These effects can vary from overt
