Quick answer A researcher validating two isoform assays — the Human ALT1 (HUFI00557) and ALT2 (HUFI00593) ELISA kits — spiked the ALT2 kit's standard onto the ALT1 kit's plate and saw

A T cell does not choose which tissue to defend. The tissue chose it, during priming. A naive T cell has no tropism at all; it acquires one from the dendritic cell that activates it, and the instruct
