Abstract excerpt
The TCR on CD4 T cells binds to and recognizes MHC class II:antigenic peptide complexes through molecular contacts with the peptide amino acid residues that face up and out of the peptide-binding groove. This interaction primarily involves the complementarity-determining regions (CDR) of the TCR alpha- and ss-chains contacting up to five residues of the peptide. We have used two TCRs that recognize the same...
