Abstract excerpt
The valine-glycine dimorphism at position 86 of the DR beta-chain exhibited by most DR alleles has been shown to affect peptide binding. We demonstrate that DR1-restricted antigenic peptides differ in the extent to which binding is affected by amino acid substitution at positions 85 and 86 of the...
