Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-activity studies of melatonin analogues in prepubertal male rats.

TL;DR: Although the hypothesis that melatonin acts as a prohormone and that the ring schism metabolites (kynurenamines) mediate many of the effects attributable to melatonin could not be confirmed, modification of the melatonin structure by lengthening the acrylamide side chain or by replacing the 5 methoxy function with fluorine resulted in loss of biological potency.
Journal Article

TCR alpha-chain usage can determine antigen-selected TCR beta-chain repertoire diversity

TL;DR: The results suggest that preferential use of one TCR subunit can restrict the level of diversity in the other chain due to interchain interactions involving J-derived sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

The frequency of mucosal-associated invariant T cells is selectively increased in dermatitis herpetiformis.

TL;DR: The expression of skin‐tropic molecules on human skin MAIT cells at steady state is described and their contribution to various dermatoses with known T‐cell involvement is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Structure of H-2Kb and Kbm8 Complexed to a Herpes Simplex Virus Determinant: Evidence for a Conformational Switch That Governs T Cell Repertoire Selection and Viral Resistance

TL;DR: An analysis of all known TCR/MHC complexes reveals that Arg62 invariably interacts with the TCR CDR1α loop, and Arg62 appears to function as a conformational switch that may govern T cell selection and protective immunity.
