Sequence motifs important for peptide binding to the human MHC class I molecule, HLA-A2
1 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have indicated that most HLA-A2-binding peptides are 9 amino acid (aa) residues long, with a Leu at position 2 (P2), and a Val or Leu at P9. We compared the binding properties of different peptides by measuring the rate of dissociation of beta 2-microglobulin from peptide-specific HLA-A2 complexes. The simplest peptide that we identified that could form HLA-A2 complexes had the sequence (in...
