MHC restriction is structurally encoded by the T cell receptor germline

MHC restriction — the requirement for αβ T cell receptors (TCRs) to recognize Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules when presenting peptide antigens — is a pillar of adaptive immunity. Here, we provide direct structural evidence for TCR germline-encoded recognition of MHC molecules irrespective of antigenic...

Interrogating T-Cell Receptor Interactions with Peptide-MHC Through Structure-Guided Mutational Analysis 2219106

Studies have shown that germline contacts may underlie MHC restriction, supporting the idea that TCR—MHC specificity is partially encoded in the germline (Garcia et al., 1996; Marrack & Scott-Browne, 2010). In this study, we aimed to investigate how germline-encoded TCR contacts influence TCR—pMHC interactions an...
