Inhibition1

  • Immune regulation can eliminate small self-reactive cell lineages by chance

    Where this hypothesis actsDuring peripheral correction before memory establishment, when escaped and protective lineages have few founding cells

    What is proposedBlock regulatory-cell cytotoxicity during the correction interval

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowRegulatory-cell-specific cytotoxic perturbations in repeated microwell cultures with barcoded lineages and controlled founding numbers

    Possible resultExpected preservation of both self-reactive and vulnerable protective lineages before irreversible extinction
