Cross-dressing T cells go wild

Article Abstract:

Cytoxin T cells use a receptor rearranged during development to recognize microbial peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules in an antigen-specific manner. A study suggests that some T cells could break the dress code and appears with recognition receptors normally found only on NK cells.
