Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to identify polymorphic residues of DQ2 beta chains which are involved in the epitopes recognized by DQ2-reactive mAbs. Binding studies were performed on a panel of DQ2 mutant cells made by transfection of a DQ (alpha 1*0501, beta 1*0301)-positive B-LCL with DQB1 gen...
