Abstract excerpt
Despite the central role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II in adaptive immunity, peptide-binding motifs have yet to be characterized for any canine MHC class II allele. Here, we report the first immunopeptidomics-derived binding motifs for DLA-DRB1*015:01 (DLA-DR15) and DLA-DRB1*012:01 (DLA-DR12), 2 alleles overrepresented in breeds predisposed to immune-mediated diseases. Because dogs co-express...
