Despite the acceptance of principles such as clonal deletion in the thymus and peripheral clonal anergy, several new issues have arisen in the study of T-cell tolerance. For example, in the case of thymic tolerance, it is now clear that several distinct components of the thymus, including various su

## Abstract We examined the in vitro cytotoxic activity of cutaneous T-cell lines and clones from lichen planus (LP) patients against autologous epidermal keratinocytes. T cells were cultured from LP lesions and adjacent clinically normal skin and cloned by limiting dilution. Keratinocytes were cul
T-cell tolerance to self antigens is maintained by events that occur within the thymus and in the periphery. Mechanisms that operate on immature T cells within the thymus are effective in induction of tolerance to viruses, but mechanisms of tolerizing mature T cells are likely to break down. This fa
## Abstract The immune system uses several mechanisms of central and peripheral tolerance in order to prevent the activation of T lymphocytes toward selfβantigens. Although the importance of immune selfβtolerance has been established for a long time, some essential cellular and molecular mechanisms
