Missing comma in lead changes the meaning!

[edit]

A sentence in the lead has a comma which changes it's immediate meaning! That correct meaning is actually explained in subsequent sentences there, but it's initial read is wrong. I'll correct it. The sentence initially reads, "Epithelial reticular cells are the primary cell involved with making sure that no T cells are allowed to survive, which will attack the body's own cells." The comma should not be there! And I'll change 'which will' to 'which could'. My correction will read, "Epithelial reticular cells are the primary cell involved with making sure that no T cells are allowed to survive which could attack the body's own cells." This correction fits better with the subsequent sentences.

@Looie496, Tryptofish, and Iztwoz: And I suspect, though I'm not sure so I won't make any change, that the end of a subsequent sentence should also be changed. or improved? It says, "...and if they recognise self proteins as a pathogen, then the epithelial cells destroy them." I think that phrase may mean that if they, (the T-cells), are known (by the epithelial reticular cells) to recognize self proteins as a pathogen, those T-cells would be destroyed, but I don't think it (the phrase) makes clear how it knows that about those (rogue) T-cells. Maybe it's just me that doesn't understand, quite likely. UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 03:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
