MeSH definition : The property of the T-CELL RECEPTOR which enables it to react with some antigens and
not others. The specificity is derived from the structure of the receptor's variable
region which has the ability to recognize certain antigens in conjunction with the
MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX molecule.;
MeSH synonym : specificity, t-cell receptor; t-cell receptor specificity; t cell receptor specificity; T cell antigen receptor specificity;
Related MeSH term : T-Cell specificity; Specificity, T-Cell; T Cell Specificity; T-Cell Immunologic Specificity; Immunologic Specificity, T-Cell; Specificity, T-Cell Immunologic; T Cell Immunologic Specificity;
