Abstract excerpt
HLA-B51 and HLA-Bw53 differ by eight amino acids on the alpha 2 domain. Of these eight amino acid substitutions, two are in the alpha helix and six are in the beta sheet. The effect of these substitutions on allorecognition of HLA-B51-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones and HLA-Bw53-specific CTL clones was investigated using chimeric antigen (Ag) between HLA-B51 and HLA-Bw53. Of 12 HLA-B51-specific CTL...
