Abstract

Clonal selection Cognitive paradigm Degeneracy Inflammation Specificity T cells T-cell receptor
This paper discusses some consequences of the discovery that antigen receptors are degenerate: Immune specificity, in contrast to the tenets of the clonal selection paradigm, must be generated by the immune response down-stream of initial antigen recognition; and specificity is a property of a collective of cells and not of single clones.
