ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions are provided for identifying genes associated with induction of anergy in T-cells and the use of the nucleic acids or proteins as diagnostics for monitoring induction of tolerance for the presence of tolerized T-cells in a physiological sample, or elucidating the pathway to anergy or activation in T-cells. A cysteine string protein is found to indicate quiescent T-cells and is lost with anergic T-cells.
