Background: Milk lipids originate from cytoplasmic lipid droplets(LD) that are synthesized and secreted from mammary epithelial cells by a unique membrane-envelopment process. Butyrophilin 1 A1(BTN1 A1) is one of the ...
Tlymphocytes recognize antigen via the heterodimeric T-cell receptor(TCR) which is closely associated with the signal-transducing CD3 complex. αβ TCR-expressing T cells recognize peptides presented by MHC class II...
Tlymphocytes are major players in immunity, providing protectionagainst pathogenic microorganisms and tumors. They achieve this goal because they express clonally distributed recep- tors (T-cell receptor, TCR) on th...
Antigen specificity and receptor diversity are hallmarks of B and T cells. Only 1%-5% of all T cells bear a γδ T-cell receptor (TCR), and these cells have features of both innate and adaptive cells. While the anti...
