Abstract
T cells recognize antigen in a way fundamentally different from B cells. It has been known now for a decade (1–3) that the T cell receptor sees the antigen, not alone, but in association the major histocompatibility complex (MHC, H-2 in the mouse). As a general rule cytotoxic T (Tc) cells recognize antigen in association with Class I MHC molecules and helper T (Th) cells do so with Class II structures (4,5).
