Abstract excerpt
Intermolecular interactions between peptides and class II molecules intracellularly are likely to be influenced by different pH conditions in different endosomal compartments. We compared the pH-dependent binding of peptides to HLA-DQ alleles 3.1 and 3.2, two well-studied human class II molecules with limited structural variability but different genetic associations with autoimmune diseases. Binding of the...
