Abstract excerpt
Alloreactivity to HLA-DP molecules, class II heterodimers of an oligomorphic alpha and a polymorphic beta chain, is increasingly being studied due to its relevance in clinical transplantation. We hypothesized that not only polymorphisms in the peptide binding groove encoded by exon 2 of HLA-DPB1, but also in other regions of the molecule and the alpha chain, could play a role in CD4+ T cell allorecognition. To...
