T-cell antigen receptor — (TCR) The receptor on the T cell surface consisting of two antigen binding peptide chains; it is associated with a large number of other glycoproteins. Binding of antigen to the TCR, usually in association with MHC, activates the T cell … Dictionary of microbiology
B-cell antigen receptor — (BCR) A transmembrane immunoglobulin complex on the surface of a B cell that binds an antigen and stimulates the B cell. It is composed of a membrane bound immunoglobulin, usually IgD or a modified IgM, complexed with another membrane protein… … Dictionary of microbiology

Chimeric antigen receptor — Artificial T cell receptors (also known as chimeric T cell receptors, chimeric immunoreceptors, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs)) are engineered receptors, which graft an arbitrary specificity onto an immune effector cell. Typically, these… … Wikipedia
Receptor editing — is a process that occurs during the maturation of B cells, which are part of the adaptive immune system. This process has the aim to change the specificity of the antigen receptor of immature B cells, in order to rescue them from programmed cell… … Wikipedia
Receptor (biochemistry) — For other uses, see Receptor (disambiguation). In biochemistry, a receptor is a molecule found on the surface of a cell, which receives specific chemical signals from neighbouring cells or the wider environment within an organism. These signals… … Wikipedia
Receptor — In cell biology, a structure on the surface of a cell (or inside a cell) that selectively receives and binds a specific substance. There are hoards of receptors. There are receptors for insulin, receptors for low density lipoproteins (LDL), etc.… … Medical dictionary
