Recent studies have shown that the CD4 molecule does indeed have a weak affinity for MHC class II molecules. These observations support the idea that antigen recognition by T cells involves the formation of a complex of T cell antigen receptor and CD4 or CD8 on the T cell which recognizes antigen plus MHC on another cell. 1, record 1, English, - CD4%20molecule

CD4 et CD8. Les cellules T matures des organes lymphoïdes périphériques expriment l'une ou l'autre de ces deux glycoprotéines, qui déterminent la classe de molécules de CMH reconnue en association avec l'antigène : classe II pour CD4 et classe I pour CD8. De poids moléculaires respectifs de 55 kDA et 32 kDA, elles appartiennent à la superfamille des immunoglobulines. Leur rôle est incertain : augmentation de l'avidité des récepteurs [bêta] ayant une faible avidité initiale, interaction avec les molécules de CMH, activation cellulaire. 1, record 1, French, - mol%C3%A9cule%20CD4
