B Cell Competition for Restricted T Cell Help Suppresses Rare-Epitope Responses

Summary: The immune system responds preferentially to particular antigenic-epitopes contained within complex immunogens, such as proteins or microbes. This poorly understood phenomenon, termed “immunodominance,” remains an obstacle to achieving polyvalent immune responses against multiple antigenic-...
