T-cell anergy is a state of T-cell non-responsiveness that occurs when T-cells are activated without the necessary co-stimulatory signals, preventing them from attacking the body's own tissues and contributing to immune tolerance. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining self-tolerance and preventing autoimmune diseases, but can also be exploited by tumors to evade immune surveillance.
