Abstract

T cells are required to respond quickly to tissue injuries and dysregulations of varied complexity, and do so not under the direction of specific 'classical' immunological signals. This suggests that additional signals might be supplied by the nervous system and by physiological modulation of the ionic environment to activate T cells in a T-cell receptor independent manner.
