Individual MHCI restricted T-cell receptors are characterized by a unique peptide recognition signature

Effective immunity requires that a limited TCR repertoire is able to recognize a vast number of foreign peptide-MHCI. This challenge is overcome by the ability of individual TCRs to recognize large numbers of peptides. Recently, it was demonstrated that MHCI-restricted TCRs can recognize up to 10^6...
