Recognition of the Major Histocompatibility Complex Restriction Element Modulates CD8(+) T Cell Specificity and Compensates for Loss of  T Cell Receptor Contacts with the Specific Peptide

Triggering of a T cell requires interaction between its specific receptor (TCR) and a peptide antigen presented by a self–major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule. TCR recognition of self-MHC by itself falls below the threshold of detection in most systems due to low affinity. To study this i...
