Abstract excerpt
Intracellular binding of small-molecule phospho-Ags to the HMBPP receptor complex in infected cells leads to extracellular detection by T cells expressing the Vγ9Vδ2 TCR, a noncanonical method of Ag detection. The butyrophilin proteins BTN2A1 and BTN3A1 are part of the complex; however, their precise roles are unclear. We suspected that BTN2A1 and BTN3A1 form a tetrameric (dimer of dimers) structure, and we...
