Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular and genetic mechanisms of self tolerance and autoimmunity

TL;DR: The mammalian immune system has an extraordinary potential for making receptors that sense and neutralize any chemical entity entering the body, and cellular mechanisms have evolved to control the activity of these ‘forbidden’ receptors and achieve immunological self tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping T-cell receptor-peptide contacts by variant peptide immunization of single-chain transgenics.

TL;DR: Charge substitutions on the peptide often elicit reciprocal charges in the junctional sequences of T-cell receptor Vαor Vβ chains, indicating direct T- Cell receptor–peptide contact, and allowing derivation of a topology for the T- cell receptor–MHC interaction.
