## 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

The key immunological event in the pathogenesis of the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cirrhosis is breakdown of T-cell self-tolerance to pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). The mechanism resulting in this breakdown of tolerance remains unclear. Mice exposed to self-PDC mount no immune re
