Description
3d computer illustration of the T-cell receptor in complex with the MHC class II-peptide complex. The antigen (light green) is a peptide from a tumor cell, bacteria or virus. Dendritic cells present antigens to lymphocytes through their membran bound MHC-molecules (orange). After binding to the MHC-antigen complex, the T-cell receptor (violet) sends a signal cascade into the T-lymphocyte cell, that activates an immune response.
