Cutting edge: positive selection induced by a self-peptide with TCR antagonist activity
F R Santori et al. J Immunol. 2001.
Abstract
Antagonist-like engagement of the TCR has been proposed to induce T cell selection in the thymus. However, no natural TCR ligand with TCR antagonist activity is presently known. Using a combination of bioinformatics and functional testing we identified the first self-peptide that can both deliver antagonist-like signals and promote T cell selection in the thymus. The peptide is presented by appropriate MHC class I molecules in vivo. Thus, endogenous antagonist peptides exist and may be involved in TCR repertoire selection.
