T Cell Receptors

  • Conference paper
Progress in Immunology

Abstract

Mammmals have evolved a number of different ways of recognising the arrival in their bodies of a foreign invader. At least 3 of these appear to be antigen specific, by virtue of the fact that the foreign invaders are recognised by receptors which vary in sequence from one cell to another.
