Abstract excerpt
The peptide binding site of HLA-B27 and other class I Ag consists of a series of pockets that bind peptide side chains. Two of these pockets interact with the amino-terminal peptide residue (pocket A) and with the highly conserved second residue (pocket B). In this study, the role of pockets A and B in HLA-B27-specific T cell allorecognition has been analyzed. Four HLA-B27 mutants with single or double changes in...
