Although molecular biology provides new insights into the subunit compositions and the stoichiometries of insect neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), our knowledge about the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms of native neuronal nAChRs is limited. The regulation of a-bungarotoxin-resistant nAChRs was studied on dissociated adult dorsal unpaired median neurons isolated f...

Adaptive immune responses are driven by interactions between T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) and complexes of peptide antigens (p) bound to Major Histocompatibility Complex proteins (MHC) on the surface of antigen presenting cells. Many experiments support the hypothesis that T cell response is quantitatively and qualitatively dependent on the so-called strength of TCR/pMHC association. Most av...
