Analysis of the structure of naturally processed peptides bound by class I and class II major histocompatibility complex molecules.

Abstract excerpt

Antigen-specific T-cell responses require antigenic peptides presented on the cell surface by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. The structural characteristics of these peptides are being defined. It is now known that the majority of peptides that associate with MHC Class I are...
