Abstract excerpt
Rodent Ly49 exhibit allele-specific MHC I recognition, yet the interaction site, site 2, encompassing the area below the MHC peptide-binding groove, the alpha3 domain, and associated beta(2) microglobulin, is highly conserved among rat and mouse MHC I alleles. We previously demonstrated that allele-specific Ly49 recognition can be affected by polymorphisms specifically in the peptide anchor-binding and...
