Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes confer risks for human diseases. Predisposing effects related to T cell receptor (TCR) recognition of peptide-HLA can be selection of TCR repertoire and/or preferential presentation of disease-driving epitopes. In celiac disease (CeD), HLA-DQ2.5 predisposes by presenting gluten peptides to CD4+ T cells that typically employ stereotyped TCRs. Here, we analyzed...
