TL;DR: The structural basis for MHC restriction and signaling remains elusive as no structural features that define a common binding mode or signaling mechanism have yet been gleaned from the current set of TCR/pMHC complexes.

Abstract: Since the first crystal structure determinations of alphabeta T cell receptors (TCRs) bound to class I MHC-peptide (pMHC) antigens in 1996, a sizable database of 24 class I and class II TCR/pMHC complexes has been accumulated that now defines a substantial degree of structural variability in TCR/pMHC recognition. Recent determination of free and bound gammadelta TCR structures has enabled comparisons of the modes of antigen recognition by alphabeta and gammadelta T cells and antibodies. Crystal structures of TCR accessory (CD4, CD8) and coreceptor molecules (CD3epsilondelta, CD3epsilongamma) have further advanced our structural understanding of most of the components that constitute the TCR signaling complex. Despite all these efforts, the structural basis for MHC restriction and signaling remains elusive as no structural features that define a common binding mode or signaling mechanism have yet been gleaned from the current set of TCR/pMHC complexes. Notwithstanding, the impressive array of self, foreign (microbial), and autoimmune TCR complexes have uncovered the diverse ways in which antigens can be specifically recognized by TCRs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss pathways involved in disease pathogenesis and the underlying genetic associations in different populations worldwide, and identify associated genetic variations will facilitate the development of novel and targeted personalized personalized therapies for patients.
Unconventional modes of peptide-HLA-I presentation change the rules of TCR engagement
TL;DR: In this paper , a review explores how these recent findings redefine the rules for peptide presentation by human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules and extend our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that govern T-cell mediated antigen discrimination.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of β-lactam antigenic peptide hybrids; unusual opening of the β-lactam ring in acidic media
Marion Tarbe,Itxaso Azcune,Eva Balentová,John J. Miles,Emily E. Edwards,Kim M. Miles,Priscilla Do,Brian M. Baker,Andrew K. Sewell,Jesus M. Aizpurua,Céline Douat-Casassus,Stéphane Quideau +11 more
TL;DR: None of the closed β-lactam peptides bound to HLA-A2, but their opened variants were shown to be moderate to good HLA -A2 ligands, one of them being even capable of stimulating a Melan-A-specific T cell line.

TL;DR: Thio-antigens may represent a general and readily accessible source of potent vaccine candidates that resist degradation and are able to withstand proteolytic cleavage, according to a new strategy for modifying MHC I antigens to enhance resistance to proteolysis while preserving M HC I affinity and T cell activation properties.

TL;DR: Transient anti-TCR treatment significantly prolonged the survival of transplanted BALB/c islets in overtly diabetic NOD mice, which comprise both allogeneic and autoimmune diabetogenic T-cell responses to the transplanted islets, revealing the potential for using TCR-targeting mAbs as induction immunotherapy for islet transplantation.
