Confronting mortality: faith and meaning across cultures.

abstract：:As recently as ten years ago, the nature of the T-cell receptor for antigen was a mystery, as was the precise role of histocompatibility molecules in antigen-presentation to T cells. Although T-cell receptors have now been cloned and crystal structures of MHC/peptide molecules exist, our understanding of the parameter...
