Abstract excerpt
Based on findings with the T cell receptor from mouse CTL clone 2C, and other TCRs, we propose a model that could account for degeneracy of T cell recognition. This "conformer model" holds that a single TCR exists in multiple conformations that are in equilibrium. The model is consistent with (1) the characterization of multiple ligands that bind to the 2C TCR, and other TCRs, (2) the binding properties and...
