Figure 2. SB27 TCR contacts at the interface. (a) 'Footprint' of the SB27 TCR on the HLA-B^*3508-LPEP complex. There are limited MHC-mediated contacts with the SB27 TCR on the gray surface representation of the HLA-B^*3508 heavy chain. (b) 'Footprint' of the LC13 TCR in complex with HLA-B8-FLRGRAYGL, showing the focus toward the carboxy-terminal end of the peptide^5. (c) Closer view of the SB27 TCR contacts with the HLA-B^*3508-LPEP complex. HLA-B^*3508 -helices, light gray; peptide, orange; conformation of Gln155 as it appears in the binary complex (HLA-B^*3508-LPEP)3, dark gray; side chains from the triad of residues mediating MHC-restriction, gold. CDR loop colors are as in Figure 1b.
