Abstract: Recent methodological advances allow the analysis of clonal composition within T-cell subsets. Here, Mala Maini and colleagues review the available data on clonality in acute immune responses and steady-state situations. They highlight and explore reasons for the striking differences in clonality between the CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets.
