Abstract

A current obsession of cellular immunology is the definition of the T-cell receptor repertoire. Many of the questions that have been raised derive from experiments with virus systems (Doherty et al., 1976a; Zinkernagel and Doherty, 1979). How do we explain the apparent dual specificity for major histocompatibility (MHC) components and for virus?
