Evidence for a functional interaction between the beta chain of major histocompatibility complex class II and the T cell receptor alpha chain during recognition of a bacterial superantigen.

Abstract excerpt

Several studies have suggested that there is a direct interaction between the T cell receptor (TCR) and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule during T cell recognition of superantigen. To further investigate this possibility, we have analyzed T cell recognition of a bacterial superantigen, Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), presented by a series of mutant murine I-Ek molecules in which residues of...
