Evidence that a Single Peptide–MHC Complex on a Target Cell Can Elicit a Cytolytic T Cell Response

TLDR
From the distribution of Ld on the target cells, it is suggested that a single peptide-MHC complex per target cell can trigger activation of the T cell cytolytic response.

Escape of human solid tumors from T-cell recognition: molecular mechanisms and functional significance.

TL;DR: This important finding suggests that TAA-specific CTL may be present in some cancer patients but are unable to attack tumor cells due to the presence of inhibitory receptors.

Pathways of Antigen Processing

TL;DR: This review highlights the aspects of MHC-I and M HC-II biosynthesis and assembly that have evolved to intersect these pathways and sample the peptides that are produced.

Immunodominance in major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted T lymphocyte responses.

TL;DR: Little is known about how immunodominant and subdominant determinants are distinguished by the TCD8+ repertoire, or how (and why) immunodomination occurs, but new tools are available to address these questions.

T-cell regulation by CD28 and CTLA-4

TL;DR: Activation of T lymphocytes is thought to require at least two signals, one delivered by the T-cell receptor complex after antigen recognition, and one provided on engagement of co-stimulatory receptors, such as CD28.

Serial triggering of many T-cell receptors by a few peptide–MHC complexes

TL;DR: It is shown that a small number of peptide–MHC complexes can achieve a high TCR occupancy, because a single complex can serially engage and trigger up to ∼200 TCRs.

Evidence for a differential avidity model of T cell selection in the thymus

TL;DR: A critical parameter that controls the fate of a thymocyte seems to be the number of TCRs engaged with complexes of peptide and major histocompatibility complex and when this number is low, positive selection occurs, and when it is high, negative selection takes place.

Quantitation of antigen-presenting cell MHC class II/peptide complexes necessary for T-cell stimulation

TL;DR: The number of specific complexes formed between peptide and the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules expressed by an antigen-presenting cell (APC) after exposure to protein antigens is unknown, as is the number that activates T cells.
