Abstract excerpt
The TCR alpha/beta chains recognize antigen peptides bound to the groove of the MHC class II molecule. The crystal structure analyses of the TCR/peptide/MHC class II complexes have revealed that the Valpha chains play a significant role in antigen recognition. However, molecular details which amino acid residues of the Valpha chain are able to contribute to fine antigen specificity are not clearly understood....
