Abstract

A potential mechanism that allows T cells to reliably discriminate pMHC ligands involves an interplay between kinetic proofreading, negative feedback and a destruction of this negative feedback. We analyse a detailed model of these mechanisms which involves the TCR, SHP1 and ERK. We discover that the behaviour of pSHP1 negative feedback is of primary importance, and particularly the influence of a kinetic proofreading base negative feedback state on pSHP1 dynamics. The CD8 co-receptor is shown to benefit from a kinetic proofreading locking mechanism and is able to overcome pSHP1 negative influences to sensitise a T cell.
