The T lymphocyte antigen receptor—paradigm lost

Nature volume 300, pages 583–588 (1982)Cite this article

It has been dogma that the antigen receptors on T lymphocytes must have recognition sites that are essentially the same as those of antibodies and that the receptors would be found if structures related to immunoglobulin V-domains could be identified on T lymphocytes. In a critical assessment we conclude that there is no sound basis for these views.
