CD8⁺ T cells respond to short peptides bound to MHC class I molecules. Although most antigenic proteins contain many sequences that could bind to MHC class I, few of these peptides actually stimulate ...
In addition to the TCR and classical MHC class I, MHC class 1–like molecules can interact with a variety of receptors that play a role in T cell activation. Engagement of NKG2D on CMV-specific αβ CD8 ...
SEATTLE — The genetic vulnerability to psoriasis and related autoimmune diseases may be traceable to evolutionary pressure to resist ancient infections by retroviruses. The theory is that variations ...
Which came first, MHC class I or MHC class II? For decades, it has been debated which of these two similar classes came first in evolution. Now, Keiichiro Hashimoto and his group at Fujita Health ...
