• The T cell antigen receptor, while not an antibody, shares some structural and functional properties with antibodies. • The T cell antigen receptor binds to protein antigens that have been digested into short peptides and are displayed by proteins called major histocompatiblity complex (MHC) proteins on the membranes of antigen-presenting cells. |
