Abstract excerpt
1. A panel of cells designed to express normal or mutated human HLA-A0201 was constructed and used to investigate the interactions between the peptide antigen, class I major histocompatibility complex, CD8 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen receptor. 2. Analysis of the extensive data generated has revealed that the optimum peptide presented to cytotoxic T lymphocytes by HLA-A0201 contains nine amino acids. It...
