Term Definition
TCR T cell receptor.
Antigen Peptide-major histocompatibility complex multimer which can be recognized by TCR.
MHC The major histocompatibility complex.
HLA The human leukocyte antigen.
CDR3 α/β The third complementarity determining region of the T-cell receptor(TCR) α and β chains.
TRAV/TRAJ V/J gene of TCR α chain.
TRBV/TRBJ V/J gene of TCR β chain.
Peptide_species Species of peptide.
HLA_mut/Pep_mut/TCR_mut The mutant site of HLA/peptide/TCR.
Binding Descript the binding capacity between TCR and pMHC. TRUE (Binding); FALSE(Non-Binding).
Affinity The binding affinity between TCR and pMHC.
Structure The structure of TCR-pMHC complexes from PDB.
Interactive pairs The pairs of TCR and antigen that can interact with each other.
Non-interactive pairs The pairs of TCR and antigen that can not interact with each other.

Usage of TRAIT

TRAIT is a multi-dimension database of T cell receptor-antigen interaction. The main sections of this website have Home, Search, Omics, Mutation, Help and Download.
           
The usage of search page
In the Search page, users can search the database by using TCR, antigen, interaction information and record metadata field filters through the reset button.

The simplified information would be displayed once searching.

1.The detailed information would be displayed by double-clicking.
2.It would be linked to PDB if the structure is available there.
3.It would be linked to data source by clicking the PMID number.
4.The search result could be downloaded.

Affinity changes for peptide mutations targeting specific TCR.

1.Different types of mutations (including single-point mutations, two-point mutations, and multi-point mutations) are indicated in the diagram using different colored circles.
2.The detailed amino acid residues are interactively viewed by placing the mouse on any of the circles.
3.The lines between nodes in the "Common mutation diagram" show the common mutation between the two mutation records.
