  • Jeffrey P. Perley,
  • Judith Mikolajczak,
  • Gregery T. Buzzard,
  • Marietta L. Harrison and
  • Ann E. Rundell

25 November 2014

Signal intensity and feedback regulation are known to be major factors in the signaling events stemming from the T-cell receptor (TCR) and its various coreceptors, but the exact nature of these relationships remains in question. We present a mathemat...
