✦ Synopsis

Evidence for a direct involvement of cell-mediated immune mechanisms in the control of human tumours remains sketchy. The past year, however, has seen advances in our understanding of the relationship between the immune system and tumour cells, and has given rise to new prospects for immunological treatment and the prevention of cancers.

The role of self-peptides in influencing the development of the T-cell repertoire has been the focus of recent studies. The findings suggest that the recognition of self-peptides bound to MHC proteins in the thymus is part of the thymic self-recognition process that results in selective maturation,

Current models for T-cell recognition of foreign antigen depict the T-cell receptor as having a single antibody-like combining site which bindr a complex of MHC and antigen. An alternative hypothesis is presented here; it is proposed that the first domains of the MHC function as inverted V-like regi

T-cell receptor binding to the antigen/MHC ligand on the surface of antigen-presenting cells is the central event in T-cell activation. Methods have been developed for measuring this recognition event in single T cells and have allowed their use as 'probes' for antigen/MHC expression. Single cell as
