Abstract
T cells are activated by antigen-independent as well as antigen-dependent mechanisms during ischemia-reperfusion injury to the kidney. In the current issue, a study by Savransky et al. suggests that antigen-dependent activation of T-cell receptors further contributes to the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury.
