Abstract excerpt
Class I and class II MHC glycoproteins are highly polymorphic molecules that bind antigenic peptides and present them on cell surfaces for recognition by T lymphocytes. Even though MHC polymorphism has long been known to affect both peptide binding and recognition by the TCR, the role of individual amino acids of MHC proteins in these interactions is poorly understood. To examine the effect of a small number of...
