While static structures can provide insight into T cell receptor (TCR) antigen specificity, this often fails and auxiliary information is needed. Here the authors show, by focusing on an HLA-A3-bound neoantigen and its WT counterpart, the allosteric formation of a peptide-dependent dynamic gate that permits selective TCR recognition of a neoantigen.
