Three-Dimensional Structural Modelling and Calculation of Electrostatic Potentials of HLA Bw4 and Bw6 Epitopes to Explain the Molecular Basis for Alloantibody Binding
21 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that qualitative assessment of surface electrostatic potential of HLA class I molecules helps explain serological patterns of alloantibody binding. We have now used a novel computational approach to quantitate differences in surface electrostatic potential of HLA B-cell epitopes and applied this to explain HLA Bw4 and Bw6 antigenicity. METHODS: Protein structure models of HLA...
