Description of Trimolecular Complex of a T Cell Receptor

Description of Trimolecular Complex of a T Cell Receptor

Crystallographic structure of the trimolecular complex of a T cell receptor (top) bound to the HLA-A2 molecule (bottom) in complex with a viral peptide (HTLV-I Tax, middle). This trimolecular complex is the basic unit of antigen-specific recognition in cell-mediated immunity. See the Biddison lab page to learn more.
