Life started on earth about 3.5 billion years ago: mammals are a ‘recent’ development
3
Meet your great, great ~50M -grandfather

Figure 8-1
5
Schematic Diagram Of The CD8 and CD4 Coreceptors
6
How T cell receptors, peptides and MHC molecules fit together
7
Schematic map of the human and mouse MHC superloci
8
Nomenclature of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Mouse Human KbKb Location (locus) Strain designation
9
Naming MHC molecules is easy All MHC molecules in this C57BL/6 mouse are called b All MHC molecules in this BALB/c mouse are called d

CD8 + T cell CD4 + T cell Tumor cell Antigen Presenting Cell Tumor Antigen What do T cells “see?”
11
T-cell recognition of antigens is MHC restricted
12
Figure 3-22
13
Pathways of antigen processing and presentation
14
TCR-peptide-MHC Crystal Structure
15
Figure 4-11 The germline organization of the human T-cell receptor and β loci
16
The numbers of human T-cell receptor gene segments and the sources of T-cell receptor diversity compared with those of immunoglobulins

Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) in mouse and man Tumor is established time Ablate host immune system Adoptively transfer T cells Add vaccine and cytokine support Tumor regression?
