Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the influence of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP-2) expression on the HLA-B*27 peptidome in live cells. METHODS: Using immunoaffinity chromatography and acid extraction, HLA-B*27:05-bound peptides were isolated from 2 ERAP-2-negative lymphoblastoid cell lines and 1 ERAP-2-positive lymphoblastoid cell line expressing functionally indistinguishable ERAP-1 variants.
