T‐Cell Antigen Recognition – Lessons from the Past and Projections into the Future

Abstract: T‐cells are central to adaptive immunity and arguably to this date the most intensely studied cells in life sciences. Paying tribute to their developmental plasticity and the complexities associated with many of their physiological functions, numerous aspects of their physiology are still far from being understood to an extent that would be sufficient to rationally design therapies effectively targeting allergies, autoimmunity and cancer. T‐cell antigen recognition is no exception: this field took up speed wit… Show more

“…3 Indeed, Platzer and Huppa recognize that through thymic positive selection 'high-affinity TCRs emerging in the periphery are rare as they are probably sorted out during based residual affinities towards self-MHCs'. 3 Yet, there remains puzzlement as to 'why some thymocytes expressing self-reactive TCRs get a pass during negative selection only to later destroy healthy tissue in the periphery as mature T-cells'. 3 The present broad overview hopes to reduce this puzzlement.…”
