title: T cell clones: tools to investigate host-parasite relationships.
abstract: T cell clones provide valuable tools to investigate host-parasite relationships. In this review, methodological aspects of T cell cloning are briefly considered and in addition, recent investigations employing this technology are discussed in light of their contribution to our understanding of the immunology of parasitic infections.
