Immunzellrezeptor
An Immunzellrezeptor, or immune cell receptor, is a specialized protein structure present on the surface of immune cells. These receptors are essential components of the immune system, allowing immune cells to recognize, bind to, and respond to specific antigens, such as pathogens, infected cells, or abnormal cellular components. The interaction between immune cell receptors and antigens initiates immune responses aimed at defending the organism against threats.
There are several types of immune cell receptors, each playing distinct roles. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs),
The structure of immune cell receptors depends on their function. For example, TCRs are heterodimeric proteins
Understanding immune cell receptors is critical for immunology, vaccine development, and immunotherapy. Therapeutic strategies often target
