Abstract excerpt
The three-dimensional structure of the HLA class I molecules has highlighted the importance of the "groove" formed by the helices. We used site-directed mutagenesis to construct a series of HLA-B27 mutants with different substitutions at the sites of the conserved amino acid residues of HLA-B27 subtypes, specifically residue 77 which is thought to be critical to the binding site of the molecule, and a residue at...
