Abstract
The semi-public T-cell response towards the gluten epitope DQ2.5-glia-α2 uses a prototypic TCR encoded by the germline segments TRAV26-1 and TRBV7-2. Through mutagenesis experiments, we show that a TRAV26-1encoded recognition motif contacts the MHC β-chain and the TCR CDR3β loop underpinning this conserved T-cell response restricted to the prototypic TCRs.Entities:
