  1. Amino acid residues that contribute to the interaction between the TCR and the peptide-HLA complex are listed in the table. The interacting residues are categorized into three groups: the peptide, the HLA molecule, and each individual CDR loop of the TCR. The top section of the table summarizes the pairwise interacting residues between the TCR’s CDRs and the HLA molecule. The bottom section of the table summarizes the pairwise interacting residues between the CDRs and the QW9 peptide. The interactions are characterized as either hydrogen bond (HB) or van der Waals (vdw), with the van der Waals cutoff distance being ≤ 4 Å.
