Vaccination is generally considered to be the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases. All vaccinations work by presenting a foreign antigen to the immune system in …
The T cell receptor (TCR) orchestrates immune responses by binding to foreign peptides presented at the cell surface in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) …
T cells respond to threats in an antigen-specific manner using T cell receptors (TCRs) that recognize short peptide antigens presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) …
Abstract Purpose of Review Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is strongly associated with the HLA- B27 gene. The canonical function of HLA-B27 is to present antigenic peptides to CD8 …
