Abstract excerpt
T cells orchestrate adaptive, pathogen-specific immune responses. T cells have a surface receptor (called TCR) whose ligands are complexes (pMHCs) of peptides (derived from pathogens or host proteins) and major histocompatibility complex proteins (MHCs). MHC proteins vary between hosts. During organ transplants, host TCRs interact with peptides present in complex with genetically different MHCs. This usually...
