DESCRIPTION:T cells play a central role in both eliminating pathogens and c
 ancers\, but are also drivers of autoimmunity. During T cell development i
 n the thymus\, a variety of mechanisms operate collectively to regulate T 
 cell tolerance. For CD8+ T cells\, the most well-studied central tolerance
  mechanism is clonal deletion\, however\, other mechanisms such as functio
 nal inactivation have been described. Our studies have shown that while ro
 bust clonal deletion can purge the T cell repertoire of most of the highly
  self-reactive CD8+ T cells\, anergy induction in the remaining highly sel
 f-reactive cells is needed for self-tolerance. Furthermore\, signaling thr
 ough the co-inhibitory receptor PD-1 is needed for establishment and maint
 enance of tolerance. Collectively\, our data shed light on the contributio
 ns of different central tolerance mechanisms and highlight the importance 
 of thymic anergy in self-tolerance.\n\n \n\nThis seminar will take place i
