Mode of T cell priming durably shapes the TCR repertoire, effector function and α4β1 integrin expression of human virus-specific CD4+ T cells

The generation of an effective T cell response against an antigen depends on the recognition of the antigen by the T cell receptor (TCR), followed by T cell priming, initiating coordinated biophysical, biochemical and proliferative changes that drive differentiation into effector and memory clones. The immunological en...
