Abstract excerpt
We describe a comprehensive analysis of the effect of avidity of TCR-MHC/peptide interaction on activation of the (p2Ca). In study, monosubstituted variants of p2Ca were used and assessed for binding to purified H-2Ld, binding of H-2Ld/peptide complexes to sTCR, and ability to activate 2C cells to two independent effector functions. Among the > 20 variants analyzed, functional activity of most peptides that bound...
