Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, alpha-beta MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, alpha-beta
Tree Number(s)
D12.776.543.750.705.816.824.825
Unique ID
D016693
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016693
Scope Note
T-cell receptors composed of CD3-associated alpha and beta polypeptide chains and expressed primarily in CD4+ or CD8+ T-cells. Unlike immunoglobulins, the alpha-beta T-cell receptors recognize antigens only when presented in association with major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules.
