Abstract excerpt
Goodpasture's disease provides an opportunity to analyse molecular mechanisms that may underlie MHC class II associations with autoimmune disease because it is caused by autoimmunity to a defined antigen [the 230 amino acid NC1 domain of the alpha3 chain of type IV collagen (alpha3(IV)NC1)] and has strong HLA class II associations. We compared the alpha3(IV)NC1 peptide binding of class II molecules with strong...
