Will take a spell for foreign bond holders to fully digest this. What just happened is so abnormal that fund managers cannot fully digest it for days. Things just broke that can’t be fixed.

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

Tolerance by eviction "we report that, in mice, CD8 T cell tolerance instead results from premature thymic eviction of immature autoreactive CD8 thymocytes into the periphery, where they differentiate into self-tolerant mature CD8 T cells" #Immunology #Immunosky
science.org
CD8 T cell tolerance results from eviction of immature autoreactive cells from the thymus
Thymic eviction explains CD8 T cell tolerance and why autoreactive CD8 T cells appear in the periphery but not the thymus.
