First Atomic Resolution Image of Antigen-Bound T-Cell Receptor Complex - Technology Networks

With the help of cryo-electron microscopy, scientists were able to visualize the whole T-cell receptor complex with bound antigen at atomic resolution for the first time.

T cells are our immune systems customised tools for fighting infectious diseases and tumour cells. On their surface, these special white blood cells carry a receptor that recognises antigens. With th… [+4682 chars]
