Table_2_Evolutionary trade-offs constraining the MHC gene expansion: beyond simple TCR depletion model.xlsx by Magdalena Migalska (4227874)

“…The association was strongest for the relationship between MHC class I and splenic CD8+ T cells. The CD8+ TCR richness alone was unaffected by MHC class I diversity, suggesting that MHC class I expansion may be limited by decreasing T cell counts, rather than by direct depletion of TCR richness. …”
