The T cell antigen receptor is the key to the cells activity. The receptor consists of one alpha-chain protein and one beta-chain protein. The receptor is fussy: it can bind only with a single type of antigen, which must be held by specific major histocompatibility (MHC) proteins on the surface of cells.
