Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of an anchoring pocket in allele-specific peptide presentation by a major histocompatibility complex class I molecule, we "transplanted" a B pocket from HLA-A*0201 into HLA-B*2705 by site-directed mutagenesis. The resulting protein, designated B27.A2B, binds a different set of endogenous peptides than B*2705 as evidenced by complete loss of allorecognition as well as restored expression in...
