Cellular-level versus receptor-level response threshold hierarchies in T-cell activation

Cellular-level versus receptor-level response threshold hierarchies in T-cell activation

Peptide-MHC (pMHC) ligand engagement by T-cell receptors (TCRs) elicits a variety of cellular responses, some of which require substantially more TCR-mediated stimulation than others. This threshold hierarchy could reside at the receptor level, where different response pathways branch off at differe...
