T-cell Receptor Is a Threshold Detector: Sub- and Supra-Threshold Stochastic Resonance in TCR-MHC Clusters on the Cell Surface

Abstract: Stochastic resonance in clusters of major histocompatibility molecules is extended by a more detailed description of adaptive thresholding and by applying the notion of suprathreshold stochastic resonance as a stochastically quantizing encoder of transmembrane signaling downstream of major histocompatibility molecules and T-cell receptors on the side of presenting and recognizing cells, respectively. The adaptive nature of thresholding is partly explained by a mirroring of the noncognate–cognate dichotomy show… Show more

“…In soluble MHC:peptide multimer (dimers, trimers, and tetramers) experiments, the aggregation of MHC molecules can significantly increase the efficiency of the response in T cells. Several recent publications have reported on the location of immunological synapse molecules according to a certain order (organizing into "supramolecular" clusters) [35,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. In light of these facts, we can presume that some of the reviewed associates (e.g., the homoassociation; the HLA class II-HLA class I and the ICAM-1-HLA class I or class II heteroassociation) play a role in the process of antigen presentation and in regulating its efficiency.…”
