title: Multichain immune recognition receptors: similarities in structure and signaling pathways.
abstract: Cells involved in immune recognition bear characteristic and complex multichain receptors. Here, Achsah Keegan and William Paul propose, based on familial relationships in both extracellular and intracellular domains, that they be grouped in a set, designated the multichain immune recognition receptors.
