Abstract excerpt
The relative importance of 11 polymorphic positions in the HLA-DR7 beta 1 chain in T cell recognition of foreign antigens was investigated using transfectants expressing mutant DR7 beta 1 chains as APC for five rabies virus-specific T cell clones. The results indicate that multiple amino acids, located in both the beta-strands and alpha-helix of DR7 beta 1 in the model of a class II molecule, are involved in...
