Abstract excerpt
Single amino acid polymorphism at residue 37 of the HLA-DR beta chain (DR beta 37) between DRB1*0406 and 0403 markedly influences susceptibility to the insulin autoimmune syndrome. We investigated the effects of DR beta 37 polymorphism regarding recognition of nonself peptides by a T-cell clone, YN5-32, specific to a streptococcal peptide (M12p54-68) presented by the DRB1*0406 molecule. YN5-32 responded better to...
