title: Signal transduction through the T-cell antigen receptor.
abstract: The mechanism by which ligand binding to the T-cell antigen receptor triggers the T-cell activation program has long been one of the most fascinating questions in lymphocyte biology. Here, we review recent insights into the transmembrane signaling functions of this multisubunit receptor complex.
