Abstract

Nonclassical class I MHC-like molecules are ligands for several unconventional T cell populations. Recently, Le Nours et al. identified human γδ T cells recognising MHC-related protein-1 (MR1) via their T cell receptor (TCR). Also recognised by the αβ-TCR of mucosal associated invariant T cells, MR1 interacts with specific γδ-TCRs using strikingly diverse binding modes, suggesting fundamental differences in γδ T cell recognition.
