Molecular insights for optimizing T cell receptor specificity against cancer
Cytotoxic CD8 T cells mediate immunity to pathogens and they are able to eliminate malignant cells. Immunity to viruses and bacteria primarily involves CD8 T cells bearing high affinity T cell receptors (TCRs), which are specific to pathogen derived (non-self) antigens. Given the thorough eliminatio...
