Abstract excerpt
Most autoimmune diseases are associated with certain MHC class II haplotypes. Autoantigen-based specific immune therapy can lead either to beneficial or, in the context of inflammatory conditions, detrimental outcomes. Therefore, we designed a platform of peptides by combinatorial chemistry selected in a nonbiased Ag-independent approach for strong binding to the rat MHC class II isotype RT1.D(n) allelic product...
