Identifying individual T cell receptors of optimal avidity for tumor antigens
Cytotoxic T cells recognize, via their T cell receptors (TCRs), small antigenic peptides presented by the Major Histocompatibility Complex (pMHC) on the surface of professional antigen presenting cells (APC), and infected or malignant cells. The efficiency of T cell triggering critically depends on...
