Abstract excerpt
The conformation of peptides when bound to different HLA class II molecules is of interest in the study of specificity and function of responding T cells. Here, we report the investigation of the HLA-DR binding profiles of an immunodominant and HLA-promiscuous mycobacterial peptide, p38G. Its binding affinities were found to be high for DR1, moderate for DR2, DR7 and DR8, low for DR4, DR5, DR6 and DR9, and below...
