Structural requirements for binding of an immunodominant myelin basic protein peptide to DR2 isotypes and for its recognition by human T cell clones.
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
Immunodominant T cell epitopes of myelin basic protein (MBP) may be target antigens for major histocompatibility complex class II-restricted, autoreactive T cells in multiple sclerosis (MS). Since susceptibility to MS is associated with the DR2 haplotype, the binding and presentation of the immunodominant MBP(84-102) peptide by DR2 antigens were examined. The immunodominant MBP(84-102) peptide was found to bind...
