Avian T Cells: Antigen Recognition and Lineages
The T cell receptor/CD3 complex is crucial for antigen recognition and signal transduction by T lymphocytes. In this chapter, we discuss the general features of the chicken TCR/CD3 complex, including the principal TCR subtypes, the genomic organization of the TCR clusters, features of the CD3 complex, and several co-stimulatory molecules. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
