Abstract excerpt
The interaction of HLA-E with CD94/NKG2A is dependant on the binding of HLA class I signal sequence derived peptides to HLA-E. In the caucasoid population two HLA-E alleles are observed at equal frequencies. Here we study the functional differences between the two HLA-E molecules with regard to cell surface expression, peptide binding, and potential to inhibit lytic activity of a CD94/NKG2A(+) NK cell line. In...
