T cell thymic selection and peripheral homeostatic proliferation in infectious diseases

There is no doubt that infectious agents and host undergo multilayered yet not fully understood interactions. This is primarily due to at least mechanisms resulting in chronic course of infectious process. Acute infection proceeds in parallel with primary immune response and its typical phases, each...

description There is no doubt that infectious agents and host undergo multilayered yet not fully understood interactions.
