Abstract excerpt
A mutation of the HLA-A*0201 heavy chain at position 74 from histidine to leucine (H74L) resulted in a molecule with an interesting phenotype. H74L-expressing targets were recognized by peptide-specific HLA-A*0201-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes at lower peptide concentrations than wild type HLA-A*0201. H74L's improved ability to sensitize cells for tysis was due to its enhanced capability to bind exogenous...
