Who discovered T-cell receptor (TCR)?

Who discovered T-cell receptor (TCR)? Correct Answer Philippa Marrack

Philippa Marrack (Immunologist) contributed to Immunology by studying about T cell receptor. She found out that T cell reacts with fragments of infection bound to MHC proteins in human body. She has also studied and carried out various experiments on the work of vaccines in order to find out the ability of T cells to attack invader molecules. On the other hand, Timothy Mosmann created a model of Th1 vs Th2 to find out the functions of helper T cells. Christopher E. Rudd discovered biochemical initiators of T-cell activation and Shimon Sakaguchi discovered regulatory T cells.
