T-Cell Antigen Receptor Specificity

Medical Definition:	The property of the T-CELL RECEPTOR which enables it to react with some antigens and not others. The specificity is derived from the structure of the receptor's variable region which has the ability to recognize certain antigens in conjunction with the MHC (MAJOR HISTOCOMPATABILITY COMPLEX) molecule.
Guide Notes:	T-cell cross-reactivity goes here
Also Called:	T-Cell Specificity
