A mutagenesis study of autoantigen optimization for potential T1D vaccine design
11 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
A previously reported autoreactive antigen, termed the X-idiotype, isolated from a unique cell population in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients, was found to stimulate their CD4+ T cells. This antigen was previously determined to bind more favorably than insulin and its mimic (insulin superagonist) to HLA-DQ8, supporting its strong role in CD4+ T cell activation. In this work, we probed HLA-X-idiotype-TCR binding and...
