1-27 of 27Describe the process of TCR degeneracy.

, Upon infection with pathogen 1, both T cells specific for pathogen 1 and
auto-reactive T cells that recognize pathogen 1 proliferate. During
contraction, the number of both decreases. Under normal conditions once
infection is cleared, peripheral tolerance persists and only T cells specific
for pathogen 1 are present. These specific T cells allow memory of the
pathogen.
Why must TCR degeneracy occur?

T cells compete for nutrients, so T cells that are not actively engaged in the
immune response are disadvantaged simply because they are not needed.
