CD8+ TCR Repertoire Formation Is Guided Primarily by the Peptide Component of the Antigenic Complex
25 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
CD8(+) T cells recognize infected or dysregulated cells via the clonotypically expressed αβ TCR, which engages Ag in the form of peptide bound to MHC class I (MHC I) on the target cell surface. Previous studies have indicated that a diverse Ag-specific TCR repertoire can be beneficial to the host, yet the determinants of clonotypic diversity are poorly defined. To better understand the factors that govern TCR...
