<i>HLA</i>autoimmune risk alleles restrict the hypervariable region of T cell receptors
2020-11-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen ( HLA ) genes within the major histocompatibility complex ( MHC ) locus strongly influence autoimmune disease risk 1–5 . Two non-exclusive hypotheses exist about the pathogenic role of HLA alleles; i) the central hypothesis, where HLA risk alleles influence thymic selection so that the probability of T cell receptors (TCRs) reactive to pathogenic antig...
