title: Homeostatic expansion versus antigen-driven proliferation: common ends by different means?
abstract: The requirements for T-cell proliferation driven by "space-filling" (homeostatic expansion) differ significantly from those for antigen-driven responses. Here we review these differences and discuss their implications for regulation of T-cell responses and the size of the T-cell compartment.
