Journal ArticleDOI

TCR–peptide–MHC interactions in situ show accelerated kinetics and increased affinity

TL;DR: It is shown that synaptic TCR–pMHC binding dynamics differ significantly from TCR’s binding in solution, and TCR affinity for pMHC was significantly elevated as the result of a large (about 100-fold) increase in the association rate, a likely consequence of complementary molecular orientation and clustering.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linking T-cell receptor sequence to functional phenotype at the single-cell level

TL;DR: This method involves sequencing of TCRα and TCRβ genes, and amplifying functional genes characteristic of different T cell subsets, in single T cells, and applies it to study the clonal ancestry and differentiation of T lymphocytes infiltrating a human colorectal carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deconstructing the Peptide-MHC Specificity of T Cell Recognition

TL;DR: The mechanistic basis of TCR cross-reactivity described here enables effective surveillance of diverse self and foreign antigens without necessitating degenerate recognition of nonhomologous peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD95 (Fas)-dependent elimination of self-reactive B cells upon interaction with CD4 + T cells

TL;DR: This work tracks the outcome of in vivo interactions between B cells and CD4+T cells that recognize a transgene-encoded autoantigen, hen egg lysozyme, using cells from mice trans-genic for immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor (TCR) genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A third type of murine T-cell receptor gene

TL;DR: A new species of T-cell receptor cDNA clone whose predicted amino acid sequence has homology to variable, constant, joining and diversity segments of immunoglobulins and T- cell receptors is isolated.
