Abstract excerpt
The separate contributions to allorecognition of peptide-binding and T cell receptor-contacting residues of an allogeneic HLA-DR molecule were investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Alloreactive T cell clones were generated from a combination of responder (DR1Dw1,DR4Dw14) and stimulator (DR1Dw1, DR4Dw10) whose DR products differed at only three amino acid positions, two of which are predicted to interact with...
