The ability of a single T cell to recognize the diverse peptides it encounters is based on T cell receptor crossreactivity. In this issue of Immunity, Macdonald et al. (2009) and Borbulevych et al. (2009) provide new insights into the structural principles underlying this fundamental property of T cells.
