Sequence variability analysis of human class I and class II MHC molecules: functional and structural correlates of amino acid polymorphisms.

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) and class II (MHCII) molecules display peptides on antigen-presenting cell surfaces for subsequent T-cell recognition. Within the human population, allelic variation among the classical MHCI and II gene products is the basis for differential peptide binding, thymic repertoire bias and allograft rejection. While available 3D structural analysis suggests that...
