Abstract excerpt
Two bovine MHC class II alleles, BoLA-DRB3*0201 and BoLA-DRB3*3301, contain a three base pair deletion which results in the deletion of a lysine (K beta 65) in the antigen recognition site (ARS). Modelling of BoLA-DRB3*0201 with the conserved lysine K beta 65 and BoLA-DRB3*0201 without K beta 65 indicated that this deletion altered the peptide specificity of the ARS, and may impact on the immune response. To test...
