Abstract excerpt
To test models of T-cell recognition, mice transgenic for T-cell receptor alpha or beta chain have been immunized with variant peptides that force changes in the resulting T-cell response. In particular, charge substitutions on the peptide often elicit reciprocal charges in the junctional (CDR3) sequences of T-cell receptor V alpha or V beta chains, indicating direct T-cell receptor-peptide contact, and allowing...
