Author Description

T cell receptors is a comprehensive treatise on the T cell receptor. It deals with the TCR protein, its functional interactions with the signal transduction machinery of the T cell and with the structure and organization of the TCR genes. It is the only comprehensive volume on the TCR and is written by leaders in the field. Particularly useful is the tabulation and nomenclature of the TCR[alpha] and [beta] variable regions and the inclusion of a plate section showing the alignments of these sequences.
