Spatial coordination of CD8 and TCR molecules controls antigen recognition by CD8+ T-cells
Abstract
The interactions between the TCR and peptides bound to class I MHC encoded molecules (pMHC) and a mechanism for CD8 cooperation in this process are reviewed. Observation of two TCR/CD8 populations with different lateral diffusion rate constants as well as two distinct association phases of class I MHC tetramers ((pMHC)4) with T-cells suggest that the most efficient pMHC-T-cell association route corresponds to a fast tetramer binding to a colocalized CD8/TCR population, which apparently resides within membrane rafts. Thus, ligand-cell association starts by pMHC binding to the CD8. This rather fast step promotes pMHC association with CD8-proximal TCRs and thereby enhances the overall association process. The model suggests that this raft-associated CD8-TCR subpopulation is responsible for evoking T-cell activation.
