T cells play a critical role in immune responses as they specifically recognize peptide/MHC complexes with their T cell receptors (TCRs) and initiate adaptive immune responses. While T cells are critical for performing appropriate effector functions and maintaining immune memory, they also can cause autoimmunity or neoplasia if misdirected or dysregulated. Thus, T cells must be tightly regulated from their development onward. Maintenance of appropriate T cell homeostasis is essential to promote protective immunity and limit autoimmunity and neoplasia. This review will focus on the role of cell death in maintenance of T cell homeostasis and outline novel therapeutic strategies tailored to manipulate cell death to limit T cell survival (eg autoimmunity and transplantation) or enhance T cell survival (eg vaccination, immune-deficiency).
