title: The alphabeta T cell repertoire comes into focus.
abstract: The size of the lymphocyte repertoire is of great interest, but direct information has been elusive. Moon et al. (2007) report the enumeration and isolation of naive CD4(+) T cells and show their numbers could predict the size and diversity of the primary immune response.
