2. 1. Structural studies of MHC class 1 complexes : implications for NK- and T-cell recognition

   Author : Adnane Achour; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Crystallography; MHC class I molecules; MHC class I tetramers; NK cells; T cells;

   Abstract : The cell-cell recognition events and the functional characteristics of the cell surface receptors that govern the responses of NK- and T-cells are central to molecular immunology. This thesis addresses the structural basis of such molecular recognition, more specifically the interaction between peptides and MHC class I molecules, as well as the interaction between such complexes and the inhibitory Ly49 receptors of NK cells or triggering antigen specific receptors of T-cells (TCR).

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : It is commonly stated that the cell is the smallest functional unit of life. By analogy, then, the immune cell is the smallest functional unit of the immune system. READ MORE
