abstract = {T cells are main actors of the immune system with an
essential role in protection against pathogens and cancer.
The molecular key event involved in this absolutely central
task is the interaction of membrane-bound specific T cell
receptors with peptide-MHC complexes which initiates T cell
priming, activation and recall, and thus controls a range of
downstream functions. While textbooks teach us that the
repertoire of mature T cells is highly diverse, it is clear
that this diversity cannot possibly cover all potential
foreign peptides that might be encountered during life. TCR
cross-reactivity, i.e. the ability of a single TCR to
recognise different peptides, offers the best solution to
this biological challenge. Reports have shown that indeed,
TCR cross-reactivity is surprisingly high. Hence, the T cell
dilemma is the following: be as specific as possible to
target foreign danger and spare self, while being able to
react to a large spectrum of body-threatening situations.
This has major consequences for both autoimmune diseases and
cancer, and significant implications for the development of
T cell-based therapies. In this review, we will present
essential experimental evidence of T cell cross-reactivity,
implications for two opposite immune conditions, i.e.
autoimmunity vs cancer, and how this can be differently
exploited for immunotherapy approaches. Finally, we will
discuss the tools available for predicting cross-reactivity
and how improvements in this field might boost translational
approaches.},
