There is a complex interaction between the T cell and target and/or APC during antigen presentation. What is the role of each of the following in this process? TCR? MHC+antigen? CD4/8? CD3? Are other molecules involved? What is the effect of this interaction? How is the effect different between helper T cells and cytotoxic T cells?

Step 1
TCR (T cell receptor): The TCR is responsible for recognizing and binding to the specific antigen-MHC complex on the target cell or APC (antigen-presenting cell). It ensures the specificity of the immune response. Show more…

T-cell receptors and MHC molecules both interact with antigens. What is the difference in the mode of interaction between the two?
in regard to t cel activation and antigen presentation : what molecules associated with t cells are part of this process and what do they interact with that is located on the antigen cell? please provide much evidence as possible!

In T cell and APC interaction, a) which molecules on T cells are involved in this process? b) what consequences would there be if these molecules were deficient? c) what scope do these molecules offer for the design of anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs?
