Alpha-beta T-cell receptor
Alpha-beta T-cell receptor, molecular model. The T cell receptor (TCR) is a protein complex found on the surface of a type of white blood cell called T lymphocytes (or T cells). It interacts with antigens bound to molecules from the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) family. This makes this protein complex a key component of the process whereby T cells are activated as part of the bodys immune system. This form of TCR is the heterodimer consisting of an alpha and beta chain, as opposed to the much rarer gamma and delta chains

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the Alpha-beta T-cell receptor, a vital protein complex found on the surface of T lymphocytes. Against a striking black background, this illustration highlights the structural and biochemical aspects of this key component in our body's immune system. The T cell receptor plays a crucial role in activating T cells as part of our body's defense mechanism. It interacts with antigens bound to molecules from the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) family, initiating an immune response against foreign invaders. This particular form of TCR is known as a heterodimer, consisting of both alpha and beta chains. Through its detailed depiction, this artwork not only provides insight into immunology and molecular biology but also emphasizes the significance of proteins in our biological processes. The macromolecular structure showcased here represents years of scientific research and serves as a visual representation for researchers studying proteomics and biochemistry. With its clean cut-out design and precise rendering, this print captures the essence of biomolecules at their finest. Its artistic portrayal combines science with aesthetics, making it an ideal addition to any laboratory or educational setting where appreciation for molecular structures intertwines with curiosity about our immune system's inner workings.
