title: The delineation of antigen receptors on human T lymphocytes.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies have identified several surface molecules involved in target cell recognition by cytotoxic human T cells. In this article it is proposed that T cells have two recognition units: a complex composed of the T3 molecule and a clonally unique glycoprotein which binds antigen associated with polymorphic MHC gene product; and the T4 or T8 molecule which binds to a constant region of an MHC gene product.
