Arthritic limbs from mice with autoimmune disease.

A dynamic tuning process restricts the responsiveness of autoreactive T cells, but its relative inefficiency in abrogating effector functionality results in arthritis and autoantibody production (bottom panels). Singh et al. examine the separable contributions of intrinsic and extrinsic regulatory processes to the control of peripheral autoimmunity.
