A T cell receptor goes public

Structure. 2002 Nov;10(11):1468-9. doi: 10.1016/s0969-2126(02)00890-0.

Abstract

The crystal structure of a human T cell receptor, which is used almost exclusively in the immune response to an Epstein-Barr virus protein, highlights the importance of noncontact residues in antigen recognition.
