Abstract excerpt
In this analysis, we introduce a new categorization of HLA DR alleles which are important members of HLA class II genes encoding cell surface glycoproteins that function to present antigenic peptides to T cells. We have grouped all HLA DR molecules into seven different functional categories on the basis of their ability to bind and present antigenic peptides to T cells and their association with susceptibility or...
