title: T-cell development: a role for self-peptides in positive selection.
abstract: An important issue for immunologists is the difference between the two main processes that determine the mature repertoire of T-cell receptors, termed positive and negative selection. Recent papers have addressed the role of self-peptides in the process of positive selection.
