TCR specificity prediction is advancing rapidly. The central question is not only which TCR sequence recognizes an antigen, but also which TCR pairings make recognition possible & where is the binding boundary? Our new paper tackles these questions. 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Uneven TCR chain pairing constraints govern epitope recognition
Combinatorial pairing of independently recombined T cell receptor (TCR) α- and β-chains is central to diversifying the TCR repertoire. Although sequence motifs in one chain correlate with epitope reco...

T cells fight off infections and cancer using a specialized molecule called the T-cell receptor (TCR). Each new T cell carries a unique TCR made of two molecular chains that pair with a shared goal: Detecting infected or cancerous cells, and eliminating them. 🧵
