Abstract
Central tolerance restricts T cells that target self-antigens. In this issue of Immunity, Abdelfattah et al.1 describe a method to generate self-reactive T cell receptors (TCRs) by directed evolution of non-autoreactive TCRs to recognize self-antigen peptides and demonstrate potential for T cells engineered with such receptors in immunotherapy.
