Bohemian T cell receptors: sketching the repertoires of unconventional lymphocytes.
Immunological reviews - 1 Jul 2018
Schattgen Stefan A, Thomas Paul G
Abstract excerpt
Over the last several decades, novel populations of unconventional T cells have been identified; defined by an invariant (or nearly invariant) T cell receptor (TCR) with a fixed specificity to non-canonical antigens and major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules, they form large, functionally monoclonal populations tasked with surveying for their specific antigens. With residence in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid...
