Abstract excerpt
HLA-DQw3 is a broadly defined alloantigen that has been subdivided by serological, biochemical, and molecular methods into three distinct specificities: DQw7, DQw8, and DQw9. In order to characterize functionally relevant structural polymorphisms within this family of alloantigens, we generated a series of DQw3-reactive T-cell clones that together recognize six different variants of DQw3. T-cell clones IG11 and...
