Function and Specificity of γ/δ T Cells International Workshop, Schloß Elmau, Bavaria, FRG October 14–16, 1990

Our current understanding of a/~ T cell receptor (TCR) ex­ pressing T cells advanced from function and specificity to the molecular organization ofthe TCR.We now know that the TCR a and ~ chains together express specificity for (antigenic) peptides presented by the "responder" M H C allele...
