Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown the B*2703 subtype of HLA-B27, which differs from B*2705 and other MHC class I molecules by having a His substituted for Tyr at position 59 in the A pocket, inefficiently presents certain B*2705-restricted peptides. The current work investigates the influence of the first peptidic amino acid (P1) on peptide binding to B*2705 and B*2703. Results show P1 has a marked effect for both...
