Thermodynamics of T cell receptor binding to peptide–MHC: Evidence for a general mechanism of molecular scanning
28 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Antigen-dependent activation of T lymphocytes requires T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated recognition of specific peptides, together with the MHC molecules to which they are bound. To achieve this recognition in a reasonable time frame, the TCR must scan and discriminate rapidly between thousands of MHC molecules differing from each other only in their bound peptides. Kinetic analysis of the interaction between a TCR...
