Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 2004 Feb;30(1):135-57. doi: 10.1016/S0889-857X(03)00114-5.

Abstract

T cells constitute one arm of the adaptive immune system. The accumulating information on various aspects of T-cell biology shows the intricacies in the regulation of immune responses. How we translate the cellular and molecular details of this regulation into innovation and development of therapies for disease management remains a fundamental, but exciting, challenge.
