T Cells and MHC Molecules: Relationship to Cytotoxic and Helper T Cells The T cell receptor can only bind to portions of antigens bound to the surface of cells. Nearly all cells have molecules on their cell surface that display antigens. These molecules are found only on antigen-presenting cells and display antigens. T cells bind to these molecules only, whereas Tc cells bind to...
