Figure 1. Structure of the KB5-C20/pKB1/H-2K^b ComplexBackbone ribbon representation of the ternary complex showing the overall orientation of the KB5-C20 scFv TCR onto pKB1 bound to the H-2K^b MHC molecule. Domains are color coded as follows: TCR Vα, light red; TCR Vβ, light blue; H-2K^b α1 domain, green; H-2K^b α2 domain, light purple; H-2K^b α3 domain, pink; β2-microglobulin, dark purple. The CDR1 and CDR2 loops from both V domains are drawn as green and red coils, respectively. CDR3α is depicted in dark blue, and CDR3β in light blue. The pKB1 is shown in yellow and in a ball-and-stick format, with the N-terminal end on the left and C-terminal end on the right. Only one of the two complexes in the asymmetric unit of the crystal is shown. Also shown is the carbohydrate chain that could be modeled at the Asn^21α glycosylation site.
