Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate the regions of HLA-A2 that control peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) recognition, 37 HLA-A2 genes coding for 50 point mutations that span the alpha 2 helix were synthesized by the technique of saturation mutagenesis. Twenty-nine of these genes, which code for 41 point mutations, were transfected into C1R cells and used as targets in cytotoxicity assays, in the presence of...
