title: [Recognition of antigens by lymphocytes T and B].
abstract: The advances in the understanding of the immune system include the characterization of the receptors used by B and T lymphocytes in antigen recognition and the pivotal role played by soluble factors in the cellular proliferation that earmarks an immune response. Two distinct subsets of T lymphocytes which differ in the restriction pattern of their antigenic specificity have been identified.
