Abstract

Much has been accomplished in identifying the molecules and genes responsible for T-cell recognition. We are now familiar with two distinct heterodimers, αβ and γδ, and we know that the former (at least) confers on a T cell the ability to recognize antigens complexed with specific molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) (Dembic et al. 1986; Saito and Germain 1987). Because of the recent solution of an MHC class I structure (Bjorkman et al. 1987a,b), its apparent generalization to class II molecules (Brown et al. 1988), as well as the similarity of T-cell receptor (TCR) primary sequences to immunoglobulins (Igs), we can guess a great deal about how they might interact (Chothia et al. 1988, Claverie et al. 1989; Davis and Bjorkman 1988; see also Bjorkman and Davis, this volume).
