Target structure for natural killer cells: evidence against a unique role for transferrin receptor.

abstract：:A considerable fraction of T cells express two distinct T cell receptors (TCR), mainly due to expression of two TCR alpha chains. It has been suggested that such dual-TCR cells could have a role in autoimmunity. However, as such cells express less of each TCR, they could be less sensitive to their physiological ligand...
