TcR recognition of a super-bulged peptide
Do such epitopes act as an obstacle for TCR ligation?
Does the TcR deform the peptide upon ligation?
Hypothesis: This structural investigation will provide insights into MHC-restriction
Aim: Establish the structural basis of TcR recognition of super-bulged epitopes

Conclusions
• Long viral peptides in MHC-I immunity
• Structural basis of recognition of super-bulged viral peptides
• MHC-restriction
