Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize complexes of short peptides with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. MHC molecules are polymorphic, and the products of different MHC alleles bind to different subsets of peptides. This is due to differences in the shape of the peptide-binding groove on the surface of the MHC protein, especially the 'pockets' into which anchor residues at...
